The aim of this study is to find out what matters are important
or unimportant to people. You will find below a list of 40 items. Please,
indicate how important each of the 40 items is to YOU.
To express your opinions, imagine an Importance Scale that goes from 1 to
a maximum of 9.
(1) Stands for "of no importance to me at all," and (9) stands "of
supreme importance to me", in other words, the larger the number, the greater
will be the degree of importance to you.
Give one number (either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) to each item
below, in the brackets provided to express the importance of that item
to you personally. You can concentrate better by asking yourself the following
question when you rate an item: "How important is this item to me personally?"
Repeat the same question when you rate the next item, and so on.
