We selected a subset of extreme exemplars of factual ([fact]{}) versus emotional ([emot]{}) arguments, defined as Q/R pairs reliably annotated to be at the extreme ends of the fact/emotion scale, i.e. responses with an average $\ge 4$ annotation were considered factual, and those whose annotation averaged $\le -4$ were considered emotional on a scale of -5 to 5. Table \[sample-quote-response\] illustrates both factual (R1) and emotional (R2) arguments, with additional examples for other topics in Table \[more-fact-feeling\].

In the IAC, 95% of the Q-R pairs are disagreements, the [fact]{} and [emot]{} datasets were selected to contain a similar proportion. There was no correlation between agreement/disagreement and emotionality (r $=0.07$, ns).

Personality {#corpus-pers}

Personality is usually measured with a standardized survey that calculates a scalar value for the five [ocean]{} traits: opennness to experience [O]{}, conscientiousness [C]{}, extraversion [ E]{}, agreeableness [A]{}, and neuroticism [N]{} [@Goldberg90; @Norman63] We first conducted an experiment to profile the Big Five personality traits of 637 Turkers using the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) [@Goslingetal03].
