The test-person is not content with the requirements of the instruction, that is, she is not satisfied with _one_ word, but reacts with many words. She apparently does more and better than the instruction requires, but in so doing she does not fulfil the requirements of the instruction. Thus she reacts:--custom--good--barbaric; foolish--narrow minded--restricted; family--big--small--everything possible.
