Explanation:
Hi,
This is my immediate guess - the term is pretty vague. But since 'billedmæssig' qualifies 'association', it is probably a pretty good guess. Another bet would be 'figurative' (as opposed to 'literal').

Without more context it is difficult to say for certain... do you have any more context?

Good luck,
Christian

But to be honest, I have a difficult time figuring out what the sentence is supposed to mean. I have never heard of an association creating characterics...

Explanation:
Graphic

is another option. In your context 'metaphorical' is very possibly better, but this is just for the record!

This is part of the Concise Oxford entry:

graphic
· adj.
1 of or relating to visual art, especially involving drawing, engraving, or lettering.
2 giving vividly explicit detail.
3 (Computing) relating to or denoting a visual image.
4 …
5 …

– DERIVATIVES graphically adv. graphicness n.
– ORIGIN C17: via L. from Gk graphikos, from graphU ‘writing, drawing’.
