  1. For questions 15 - 22, there are some scales on which we would like you to rate your feelings toward biology. On each scale, you can rate your feelings toward biology as an 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. There are no correct answers. Also, some of the scales seem to make more sense than others. Don’t worry about it. Just rate your feelings toward biology on these scales as best you can. Please don’t leave any scales blank.
