How much a consumer considers a particular product class to be important and of interest is measured with six, five-point semantic differentials.

How much a person considers a particular brand to have a history as well as being timeless and consistent over time is measured with four, nine-point Likert items.
Three, seven-point items measure how much a consumer values a product after reading a wide range of reviewer opinions about it compared to how much it was valued before being exposed.

How much a particular brand is considered to be exciting and something the person wants to know more about is measured with four, seven-point Likert-type items.
