ii. the actual quiz
for the following questions, the words in bold are expressions that may be used in instant message conversations. i want to find out how you interpret them when someone says them to you. each question is a pair of adjectives that describe not the words themselves but the mental state or emotions of the person who says them. there's a number scale between them. please place all the bold words under the question on the scale; if those qualities don't apply to that word, please mark [4] for neutral (halfway between [1] and [7]). it's also perfectly acceptable for two words to have the same rating.
