The survey question was phrased by the source as follows: "It is quite common to be interested to know more about certain things and to be less interested in other areas. Could you please look at these cards and put them on this sheet according to what you're interested in. Topic: books." (original German question: "Es ist ja oft so, dass man über das eine gern mehr erfahren möchte, anderes interessiert einen weniger. Könnten Sie jetzt bitte einmal die Karten hier ansehen und auf dieses Blatt verteilen, je nachdem, wie sehr Sie das interessiert. Sie sehen ja, was hier steht. Thema: Bücher")
