How does the test work?

We will show you an image of an object made of a certain material, and we will provide you with a list of properties that may describe its visual appearance (e.g., glossiness, metallicness...). For each property you will have to rate how much this property applies to the material from 1 (not a all) to 7 (a lot).

Before starting with the real test we will explain the attributes you will use and show you some examples.
