The problem is that if you 'ask' people to describe what they see and feel, 
they all use the same words and meaning because they where taught since 
childhood.

I think one way to 'verify' is to let people express their reception of 
something in an artistic way. Be it words in literature or colors and shapes 
in arts or melodies in music.
Only problem is that you have to interpret that again;-)

Have fun,

Arnold
