German term or phrase: die Meinung eines anderen in Bezug auf eine Sache einschätzen
Noche eine Bitte um Formulierungshilfe bei der Beschreibung von Marktforschungsmethoden:

"Die Probanden werden gebeten, die Meinungen von auf Fotos gezeigten Personentypen in Bezug auf die Marken /auf die in einer Umfrage eingegangen wird/ einzuschätzen"

D.h. die Befragten sollen (statt direkt ihre eigene Meinung kundzutun), einschätzen, was bestimmte Personentypen (die anhand von Fotos definiert werden) über die jeweiligen Marken denken würden.

Die ursprüngliche Übersetzung ging leider etwas am Sinn des Originals vorbei; meine Notlösung:

"the respondents are asked to offer guesses about how certain types of people shown in photographs would react to the brands surveyed"

Korrekturen oder bessere Ideen?

Vielen Dank,
Endre

Explanation:
...or "(to) assess what another person thinks about a (particular) thing," though "guess" would probably also work here (IMHO).
