Notes:

Basically, for a fairly well known research program about political ideology and personality traits, they figured out they mislabeled the dataset, perfectly switching liberal with conservative. So if you ever find yourself quoting "conservatives are...." and/or "liberals are...." you should check it out. Multiple corrections were issued.
