The common core of the empirical studies, though, is a new kind of research instrument that was first tried out in Minneapolis during the fall of 1956. By constructing material representing stimulus persons systematically distributed in an "attribute surface" and by having subjects rank these artificially composed persons as potential friends, the author began accumulating new and interesting experimental evidence of particular relevance to the understanding of selective and intuitive social perception. After some surprising preliminary findings and persistent attempts at elaborate theoretical explanations of them, I suddenly found myself in the peculiar position of making predictions concerning the outcome of psychological experiments apparently contrary to "common sense" and definitely against the odds of competent psychologists who were thoroughly acquainted with the stimulus materials and experimental procedures. The resultant state of personal intellectual frustration or "cognitive dissonance" provided a Sareptic source of motivation for continued theoretical analysis and experimental research.
