<P> Such analysis produces a factor whether or not it corresponds to a real - world phenomenon and so caution must be exercised in its interpretation . While Eysenck's R - factor is easily identified as the classical "left--right" dimension, the T - factor (representing a factor drawn at right angles to the R - factor) is less intuitive, as high - scorers favored pacifism, racial equality, religious education and restrictions on abortion, while low - scorers had attitudes more friendly to militarism, harsh punishment, easier divorce laws and companionate marriage . </P> <P> Despite the difference in methodology, location and theory, the results attained by Eysenck and Ferguson matched . Simply rotating Eysenck's two factors 45 degrees renders the same factors of religionism and humanitarianism identified by Ferguson in America . </P> <P> Eysenck's dimensions of R and T were found by factor analyses of values in Germany and Sweden, France and Japan . </P> <P> One interesting result Eysenck noted in his 1956 work was that in the United States and Great Britain, most of the political variance was subsumed by the left / right axis, while in France the T - axis was larger and in the Middle East the only dimension to be found was the T - axis: "Among mid-Eastern Arabs it has been found that while the tough - minded / tender - minded dimension is still clearly expressed in the relationships observed between different attitudes, there is nothing that corresponds to the radical - conservative continuum". </P>
