I didn't complete the test either.
I was able to understand the buttons but some samples plum refused to 
download.

text.
That was sort of like holding up cards with printing (in a too large font) 
on them and asking for the emotional context of the printing.  I suspect 
the data you get is going to be randomized by people's current feelings 
towards doctors, post offices, a

for the text, at least in that regard.
