 Both dimensions of consistency can be used in forming impressions and inferring traits-one is not more "correct" than the other.Most likely they are used in sequence, with descriptive consistency used before evaluative consistency is enacted.A study by Felipe (1970) revealed that, after traits that exhibit both evaluative and descriptive consistency, traits that are descriptively but not evaluatively consistent ("stingy" and "firm") are assumed to co-occur more often than traits that show evaluative but not descriptive consistency ("stingy" and "over permissive").
