I like where you're heading with this Awareness Puzzle.
I wonder what it would be like to just show the 4 pictures and say: "Separate these four people into two groups of two." With no other instruction at all.
Then once they finish doing that, then ask them one of the above versions of "What was the primary reason you chose the grouping you chose?" And possibly make the answers to that be multiple-choice as considered above.
So, not giving them any basis at all for how they should group them (such as Important or Significant).
But either way/any way you do it, it's definitely an interesting test to see how a person instinctively reacts.
Yes, I think you're on the right track. And once we get the ISIT Game built so it's easy to create these polls, we can ask it in both ways (more and less explicit instructions) and analyze the difference in the ways people respond based on the prompts. Meta-analysis!

We'll get there.
