Edited to add: it was a remarkable exercise in that the chosen words tended to be so coherent. In two different cases people chose identical words to describe the same person. In zero cases were anyone’s assessments in wild disagreement with anyone else’s. Apparently “pick 3 adjectives” is a robust characterization technique.
