Instructions
- Below is a list of 200 adjectives. Go through the list and
select each adjective which you believe to be descriptive of
you. If you are in some doubt about a word, yet it does seem to
fit, mark it. If you do not know the meaning of a word, do not
worry. Simply skip that word and continue.
- There is no time limit, but you should work right along.
Trust your first impulse, and plan to spend 15-20 minutes on the
task.
- Your adjective choices should be entirely your own. Avoid
being coached in your responses.
- Remember, you should be fluent in English so as to be able to
discern the fine distinctions needed to complete the test
reliably.
- Also note that the best results are to be had by respondents
who are at least 20 years old. Experience indicates that test -
retest reliability is enhanced at about that age.
- Please understand that the results from your WIST adjective
selection are available only to you and the owners and
operators of this website. We will not share
your results with others - only you have the
prerogative of sharing them.
- When you have completed the adjective selection process, click
the button to submit the list for scoring. If you have been given
a username and password you will receive your results without charge.
Otherwise you will be directed to the PayPal site where you may
enter your credit card information and a fee of $21 (US) will be
charged before you are given your results.
