In a few minutes, the computer will show you one photograph randomly selected from a large pool of possible pictures.
This is the "target".

 


Your task is to imagine what the target looks like in advance. We've provided some hints about how to do this.
After you've gained an impression, you'll indicate your impressions about the target in three phases.  




Phase 1: First, select as many of the shapes as you feel correspond with your impression.
(Please note: This is not the test itself, just an illustration of what you'll be doing later.)

Shape

Example
rounded, arcs
angular, squares
linear, flat
points, edges
soft, cloudy, liquid
repeated patterns

Remember: Your task is to describe what you actually see in a future picture, not what you imagine might have happened, or is happening, where the picture was taken, etc.

Phase 2: Second, select one radio button for each of the scales below. Select the button based on the degree to which you think the property is present in your image. If you do not select a button on one of these scales, its value defaults to the lowest value. (Again note: This is just a sample of what you'll be filling out in a few minutes.)

Element

   Degree  
water none           prominent
people none           prominent
plants none           prominent
food none           prominent
animals none           prominent
temperature cold           hot
scene type artificial           natural
movement none           dynamic
location indoors           outdoors

Phase 3: Last, enter a few words to describe your impressions.  These can be a description of what you think the image is, or some thoughts about content that weren't captured by the choices provided above.  Or you can skip this.

You may enter anything you wish in this box, but note that the box length is limited, and the keywords should generally be single specific nouns referring to prominent objects, features, colors, etc in the picture.  Keywords will be matched against a short list of words that were supplied by previous users when viewing the pictures as judges.

Several scoring methods are provided. Select one to be used in determining a numerical score based on how close your description matched the target picture.  When you are satisfied with your selections, hit the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

When your score has been computed, it will be displayed along with the actual target picture and several lines of text summarizing your description. Each item you chose on the previous page is listed (0-1 for the checkboxes, 0-5 for the button items), as well as the keywords you entered.
