Step 3

Finally, the same process was repeated. However, this time the adjectives were purposely ordered in pairs, with the option of 'Not Applicable' added to each pair for the cases when the user felt none of both concepts were related to the temperature. This last step was performed for two main reasons: First, the freedom given to the user during the previous step of choosing any adjective from a randomly ordered long list could cause the user to not consider all of them seriously, but rather to just skim through some of them without paying too much attention. On the contrary, the ordered list would force them, at least once more, to go over the near/far adjective dichotomy and consider it in relationship to the felt temperature. Secondly, forcing the user to consider all adjectives and its correlation to the temperatures twice could aid in making the user be more aware of the reason for his/her choices.

**Table 1.** Complete list of adjectives from the test, ordered randomly. Here the user would choose as many adjectives as desired if he/she felt the experienced temperature was somehow correlated to them.


**Table 2.** Complete list of adjectives from the test, ordered in pairs. Also, the "Not Applicable" option was added for each pair. The users were asked to choose one option per row.
