Thanks Marta... I have just done the "test" there... the funny thing is ...a couple of the questions that you need to put in order are NOT what a native english speaker would say... I guess it is one of those rules that work most of the time.. but in the real english speaking world some are said differently... Just like the examples from bouncyperson....

I Agree - a hungry big dog would sound extremely strange.
A big, hungry dog sounds perfect - if not a bit scary.
I little hungry boy would sound very weird.
A hungry little boy sounds correct to me

Hi there, I saw bouncypersons question and I think that in both
sentences "hungry" can be either an opinion, - you think the boy is
hungry but maybe he �s not and instead of "Shape" - I �d go with Spagman �s idea and call it other important info ..... and, in this case, we could put hungry dog here because we know the dog is hungry!! Might be the jumping around and slobbering when he sees you that gives this away or the whining when you appear with the can!! 
Anyways, there are a few adjectives that could fall in different categories and I think, it �s just sort of a thing you get a feeling for after a while...
