In this study we only focused on the quadrant method of picture interpretation. The questions asked in this study, however, go beyond the scope of this particular schema. These questions are important to ask in any case where a theory is being utilized. One must always check to see if a theory is practical and accurate in its predictions. The general question being asked is whether quadrant techniques are valid. Do such techniques lead consistent predictions based on theory?

Measure Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire. Participants were given the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire(PPSDQ, Thompson I996), which measures Jungian typology. It contains one hundred and fifteen items(word pairs and sentences)rated on a seven-point Likert scale. Each word pair is presented as a semantic differential scale in which a seven-point Likert scale is presented between each pair of words, and participants chose the number that represents the word that best describes them. the sentence items are also scored on a seven-point Likert scale, indicating degree of agree- ment or disagreement with each statement.
