ANALYSIS

High scorers are opposed to colored immigration, in favor of racial segregation within the country, believe that their own race is superior and that other races should be kept in their place and are generally antagonistic towards people of other races and nationalities. They are also likely to be sexist and ageist, i.e. very much stuck in the rightness of their own territory, sex, age, group, etc. and defensive of it.

Low scorers present the opposite pattern of attitudes, recognizing the essential worth of all persons, whatever their race, sex, age, ability, belief, inclination or circumstance.
