Instructions, part II: Construct Elicitation. The sets of three numbers in the following sorts refer to the numbers, 1 to 15, for the people named above. In each of the following sorts three numbers are listed. Look at your list of numbered names and consider the three people whom you have listed opposite these numbers. In what important way are two of these three people alike and, at the same time, essentially different from the third? After you have decided what that important way is, write it in the blank opposite the sort marked CONSTRUCT. Next encircle the numbers corresponding to the two people who are alike. Write down what you believe to be the opposite of the construct in the blank marked CONTRAST.

Now rank-order your construct-contrast poles, starting with the most frequently used pole. (Use a few or as many rankings as you want, although the limit is 15, since you only made fifteen comparisons.)
