This paper presents our investigations of statistical behavior of the small-scale jet orientations and the intrinsic polarization position angles. We found that the distribution of the milliarcsecond-scale jet orientations and intrinsic polarization position angles of extragalatic radio sources appears anisotropic with high significance levels in most cases.
