In order to try to get as truthful a response as possible, one way you might want to structure your project would be to offer a report of different individuals with their pictures included. The report would include their different qualities, etc. Then give the report to a subject, and ask them to describe their impression of the person. Then, instead of provoking them to confirm or deny their impression of the person's attractiveness, you might listen for them to come up with that term on their own. Otherwise, if you just offered a subject a picture of someone and then offered a description of the person, they might scew their answers when asked if they thought the person was attractive.
