Two experiments were run for 25 randomly generated shapes varying in the number of turns. Similarity judgments, made by 36 undergraduate students, were scaled using non-metric multidimensional scaling technique. As the results, 3 dimensions were obtained, representing dimensions of compactness, complexity, and symmetry. As a second experiment, judgments were made on 30 semantic differential scales by 40 undergraduate students. As the results of analysis, 3 factors were extracted, representing dimensions of activity, potency, and evaluation. These solutions were compared using canonical correlation method, which yielded only one significant relation between them. The total variance shared by the two spaces was only 22.1%.
