Instructions for Adjectives and Adverbs


This is a study of how people form impressions of personality. Each trial below lists a description of a person composed of adverbs and adjectives. Imagine that each trial represents a different person. Each description has been contributed by an acquaintance who knows that person well. Your task is to imagine a person who would be described by each combination, and rate how much you would like that person. Make your ratings on the following scale:
1=dislike very very much
2=dislike very much
3=dislike
4=dislike slightly
