Sixty-four reflective and 58 impulsive fifth-graders classified by Matching Familiar Figures Test were presented in a questionnaire four fictitious models, i. e., Reflective (Ref), Fast-Accurate (FA), Impulsive (Imp) and Slow-Inaccurate (SI) in this fixed order, whose performances on the test were described verbally (e.g., " The child took a longer time than usual but made fewer errors.") as well as numerically, and required to give ratings (1-5) on brightness and diligence. The reflective and impulsive children differed significantly in two of the eight ratings; the former rated FA brighter and SI more diligent than the latter. Discriminant function using these two ratings yielded a 68.0% correct prediction of the subjects' cognitive style. Both style groups similarly gave different brightness ratings to FA, Ref, Imp and SI in descending order. The reflectives, however, gave SI a higher diligence rating than Imp, following Ref and FA, while the impulsives gave Imp a higher diligence rating than SI.
