The Survivalist Behavior Questionnaire measures survivalism: planning and preparing for a major disaster. I developed it for a study of whether survivalists are malevolent. People who scored higher tended to be disagreeable and low in rationality, and high in psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism. The research was featured by UNSW BusinessThink under the title “How survivalist leaders present a toxic danger”.
