I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE INFORMATION, AND GIVE MY CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY.

Instructions:

We are interesting in finding out which personality characteristics you think are likely to go together in the same individual. Psychologists have found that one of the characteristics we use to assess individuals is warmth. A warm person is one who has positive intentions towards others. In contrast , a cold person is one who has negative intentions towards others. We would like you to rate each of the personality characteristics listed below according to whether a person who exhibited each of the characteristics would be a WARM or a COLD person. In making your ratings use the following scale, 1 = Warm and 7 = Cold. There is no right or wrong answer, we are just interested in your person opinion.
