The term 'authoritarian personality' originated with German psychiatrist Erin Fromm's writings in 1941. A person with this personality strongly dislikes ambiguity and abstract thinking. If you prefer rigid rules and regulations and exhibit complete submission to authority, you might have wondered, "Am I an authoritarian?”

For those in power or ruled by power, authoritarians use and misuse power to manage their subordinates. An authoritarian personality usually forms during a person's formative years. Personality traits established at a young age have far-reaching effects on the individual as they grow up. Even if you have this personality or know someone who displays these traits, it would be wise to address it with the help of your social circles or a psychiatrist. Take this quiz to know if you are an authoritarian.
