I did engage with your work. Again, it’s pseudoscience.
high degree of submission to established authorities
This is arbitrary. “High degree” isn’t defined, and “submission” can be confused with agreement. If I agree with someone, or support their actions, that doesn’t say anything about an underlying personality type.
aggressive defense of said authorities
“Aggressive” is doing heavy lifting here. Say I support the Palestinian movement, and I go to great lengths to defend their positions and actions. This, again, is not an underlying personality trait, it isn’t based on genetics, it’s just strongly supporting the liberation of a group of people and those who are leading that movement, the “established authorities.” It’s called having principles.
highly motivated by conventionalism
I’m a communist, much of my life is spent organizing directly against the established rules, traditions, and expectations of the society I live in. I support democratic centralism as a strategic tool, which is highly unconventional for how I was raised and where I live. Communism in general is a growing but fringe movement in the west.
None of this applies to me, but you decided to fit me into a box based on pure pseudoscience. None of what you said is useful, it does not predict behavior, it’s little more then phrenology, even less useful than MBTI.
Further, you never established where the material base of this supposed personality type is. Genetics? Upbringing? Without a consistent base, then we cannot actually use it to predict anything. It’s simply correlation if anything.
