I do not have access to Media Lab. The problem I am facing is that Inquisit does not seem set up to deal with these types of questions. I want participants to be able to see a list of 22 adjectives on a single page and be able to say to what extent they agree what that adjective. When I have tried doing this with sliders or radiobuttons, it places the answer choices below the item caption which doubles the amount of space taken up by a single item, making it near impossible to put more than 10 items on a page. Is there a way to format either the sliders or radiobuttons so that the answer choices appear next to the item caption? I am aware that one way to decrease space would be to include the scale in the instructions and have the answer choices merely be numbers. I have tried that. It causes there to be a huge space in between the instructions and the answers, which elongates the survey. &amp;nbsp;Here is an example of a script I am currently working with:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;slider empath1&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ caption = "Moved"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ labels = ("Not at all", "To a very low degree", "Somewhat", "To a considerable degree", "Very much")&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ range = (1, 5)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ slidersize = (60%, 3%)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ showtooltips = false&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;/slider&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;slider empath2&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ caption = "Warm"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ labels = ("Not at all", "To a very low degree", "Somewhat", "To a considerable degree", "Very much")&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ range = (1, 5)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ slidersize = (60%, 3%)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/ showtooltips = false&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;/slider&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;slider empath3&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
