Directions and Examples for Completing Part II Please Study the Following Directions and Examples before Continuing.
In order for your results to be received by the experimenters, responses must be given for all the items on this page.
A. In the following survey, there are two lists of numbered items. Some numbered items are words or phrases that may or may not be descriptive of yourself as you are now. For example:
7) Read phrase 1) below. Immediately after reading this phrase, click on the circular button of one of the terms immediately below 1) that most closely represents the extent to which phrase 1) is or is not you.

8) Now, do the same for phrase 2)
2) Good at working with difficult concepts is:

Associated with each potentially self-descriptive phrase is a scale which allows you to indicate the extent to which you feel that phrase is a possible description of you. For example:
9) Read phrase 3) below. Immediately after reading it, click on the circular button of one the terms immediately below 3) that most closely represents the extent to which item 3) is or is not a possible you.

11) In reviewing your selected responses for the four items above, notice that the order of the terms on each line proceeds from not to definitely. Furthermore, the middle terms in each series, such as partially me or partially a possible me always represent the mid-point between the terms
above and below it. In order to continue, carefully read the directions for A of the L.A.S.S. Survey, Part II before continuing with your self-ratings.
