Claim:
1. A method comprising: maintaining a set of visual stimuli, each of the visual stimuli being associated with an identified emotional reaction that is likely to be elicited in a subject to whom the stimulus is presented, identifying to a subject, by computer through a user interface, a context with which emotional reactions are to be associated; after identifying the context to the subject, presenting, to the subject, by a computer through a presentation interface, the visual stimuli to the subject, including, for each visual stimulus: by a computer, receiving a response, by the subject, to at least one of the visual stimuli during a response period including the first limited period of time and the grace period, the response of the subject to a particular visual stimulus representing a emotional reaction of the subject to the particular visual stimulus in relation to the context; by a computer, storing information that represents the pre-cognitive emotional reaction of the subject to each of the at least one visual stimuli for which a response was received; and by a computer, determining, based on at least some of the stored information, one or more dominant emotional characteristics of the subject in relation to the context.
