These psychological markers are not just present in the biggest communist villains in history like Stalin. They're also present in garden-variety leftist voters.
The study focused on leftwing authoritarianism. The research looked at common markers that committed leftists actually share in common.
One of those markers is anti-conventionalism, which is a total commitment to progressive moral values.
For example, everyone agreed for thousands of years that transgender individuals were seriously mentally ill. They suffer from a complex disorder that has a lot in common with schizophrenia and Tourette's Syndrome. Every committed leftist in America has suddenly decided that transgender people are holy and must be promoted and shoved down everyone's throat in an endless propaganda campaign.
That's anti-conventionalism. We saw a lot of it during the COVID debacle too. All those people screaming at their neighbors at the grocery store for not wearing masks? Those were all committed leftists. They also wanted to arrest those of us who are unvaccinated and forcibly inject us with the mRNA COVID shots in prison camps.
All committed leftists believe that the government should be able to censor the beliefs and speech of anyone that disagrees with them.
Leftwing anti-hierarchical aggression from the democrats all the time. The Black Lives Matter and Antifa terrorist riots in 2020 were one example. So is the latest craze of firing people so they can be replaced by unqualified minorities.
Leftists currently in office are more likely to exhibit traits of exploiting others for their own gain, lacking empathy, feeling entitled, being arrogant and manipulative, showing reactive anger, distrusting others, and seeking thrill. Leftists in office right now get their jollies by bossing everyone around and have no empathy for the American citizens they are supposed to be representing.
Committed Leftists should never be allowed near the the reigns of power because they are psychopaths and narcissists.

Isn't it the lefties that always say 'Follow the Science"? Well, unfortunately they've been following the science from this study where the results are nothing short of being destructive in so many ways.

Psychopathy isn’t something a person has or doesn’t it’s a scale that everyone fits onto somewhere
In general, the Left tends to more readily accept pseudoscience and quack theories about things than the Right.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of belief in astrology is that it is more often embraced by liberals. A 2009 Pew Research Center study found that people who described themselves as liberal were almost twice as likely to say they believe in astrology than self-described conservatives: 30 percent of liberals compared to 16 percent of conservatives (Liu 2009). Similarly, a 2015 study using data from the General Social Survey data of the National Opinion Research Survey at the University of Chicago found that conservatives were more likely to endorse the statement, “we trust too much in science and not enough in religious faith,” and liberals were more likely to have consulted their daily horoscope or astrological profile (DellaPosta, Shi, and Macy 2015, 1482–1483).

No, the Right-wingers are.

Remind you of anyone? Hint: he hasn't been in office since early 2021. He claimed to be, though.
The article you cited may be from a RW crapsite but it spelled "reins" correctly. Why did you alter it?Committed Leftists should never be allowed near the the reigns of power

First, thanks for once again proving you lied about being a Christian.
Second, the reason your link doesn't link the study is because that's not what the study says. Proving that you are not only a liar and a hate, but also stupid, Lib Hater.
Why do you hate Jesus so much in favor of worshiping the evils of Satan?

Libhater is both stupid and a liar. The link doesn't say what he claims it does. While RW extremists are as you say, the study points out that LW extremists can be the similar. In short, it appears that any kind of political extremist is wacky.
The study notes that negatives of RW extremisms are well documented but that LW extremism is less understood.

Understanding left-wing authoritarianism: Relations to the dark personality traits, altruism, and social justice commitment
In psychological and political research, authoritarianism has been characterized as (1) a submissiveness to authority figures and (2) a dominance towards subordinates (Adorno et al., 1950). In the past, authoritarianism has been dominantly investigated in individuals with right-wing political ideologies which led to the term right-wing authoritarianism (RWA; Altemeyer, 1996). Individuals with high levels of RWA have been described as people striving for (1) the strict endorsement of conservative social norms and values (i.e., conventionalism), (2) the compliance with established authorities (i.e., authoritarian submission), and (3) antagonistic behavior toward outgroup members (i.e., authoritarian aggression). In line with this description, current research found individuals with higher levels of RWA to be more close-minded (e.g., Hodson et al., 2009), fundamentalistic in their religious orientation, and prejudiced towards minority groups (Altemeyer & Hunsberger, 1992). However, in later theoretical conceptualizations (Altemeyer, 1998), it was postulated that RWA seems to be more reflective of the submissive aspect of authoritarianism while another construct – social dominance orientation (SDO) – was assumed to mirror the dominance aspect of authoritarianism. Individuals with high SDO have been characterized as people opposing social equality in support of group-based hierarchies by striving to dominate weaker out-groups. Supporting this later postulate, empirical studies have shown that SDO is associated with racism, homophobia, and attitudes unsupportive of women’s rights whilst negatively correlated with empathy, tolerance, and altruism (Pratto et al., 1994). Further, it was found that SDO is related to narcissism (e.g., Cichocka et al., 2017; Zeigler-Hill et al., 2021) and dark personality traits (e.g., Hodson et al., 2009).
While there is wide agreement that RWA and SDO are valid psychological constructs (for a critical review of the measures on RWA, see Harms et al., 2018), the notion of left-wing authoritarianism (LWA) has been met with skepticism by many researchers (e.g., Altemeyer, 1996; Jost et al., 2003; Nilsson & Jost, 2020) even though some empirical studies found evidence for the existence of authoritarianism also on the left side of the political spectrum (e.g., Conway et al., 2018; Crawford & Brandt, 2020)....
...Conclusion
The results of our research significantly contribute to the research on LWA as empirical evidence regarding the correlates of LWA are still rare and controversial. With the present two studies, we provide empirical evidence for the relationship between LWA and dark personality traits as well as prosocial variables (i.e., altruism and social justice commitment). Also, with the dark-ego-vehicle principle, our research provides a possible explanation for the psychological mechanisms driving some individuals to participate in political activism independently of their political orientation.

I tend to agree. Notice the most ardent JPP Trumpers are elderly Euro-American males who are both paranoid and succumbing to fear.
A worse trait is that they would rather burn down our country than to let it go on living without them. The exact ideology of their Lord and Master when he lost the election.
