• A) the future roommate, because self-descriptions have been found to be the best predictors of behaviour
• B) his or her current close acquaintances, because research has found that people are not always objective about their own behaviour
• C) other people in your dorm who do not know but can observe the new roommate's behaviour, because they will be the most objective
