For adjectives referring to origin,
speaker performance matched order prediction 100 percent of the time;
that is, there was perfect correlation. Adjectives of size exhibited a strong correlation, while adjectives of age, opinion, condition, and color also exhibited fairly strong correlations. Adjectives of shape exhibited the weakest correlation between the predicted and the observed order. These results indicate that while the established order is valid, it is not equally fixed for all types of adjectives.
