lexical studies, a sufficiently extensive basis for an analysis of personality lexicon is considered to be dictionaries with more than 100,000 entries. They contain between 10,000 and 15,000 nouns and adjectives that qualify as personality descriptors. Previous studies (Gorbaniuk, Markiewicz, Bą kowicz, & Ratajewska, 2010) showed that respondents generate an average of 2.36 personality descriptors per one politician. To obtain a pool of personality descriptors comparable to an average lexical study, it was necessary to test 200 respondents (2.36 descriptors per politician  31 politicians  200 subjects = 14,632 descriptors). * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.001.
