And we are as positive as you are.<BR/><BR/>I also let every participant do an mbti test. Over a year i have collected a huge amount of data of surfing behavior which i can segment on personality type.

It would be helpful if I could use your account for my thesis (or even interview you...). I'll check your blog again!<BR/>Thanks, <BR/>Johannajokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14368201365474065026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434454546063610146.post-3163041808101912872008-02-09T10:39:00.000-08:002008-02-09T10:39:00.000-08:00Trackback!

We'll typically ask them about about recent experiences in their lives that are relevant to what we're planning to build, and we drill down into things like:<BR/>- what was the storyline from their perspective, independent of technology?<BR/>- how has the web fit into similar stories in their lives?<BR/>- what language do they use, and what does that say about their mental models?<BR/>- where are their key pain points?<BR/><BR/>Someone else can probably provide a more accurate definition for "cognitive interviews," but that's what I'm refering to.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235036165040154193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434454546063610146.post-72577378846676182132008-02-06T17:07:00.000-08:002008-02-06T17:07:00.000-08:00Hey, if anybody has experience actually doing this...Hey, if anybody has experience actually doing this, I'd love to hear how it's going.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235036165040154193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434454546063610146.post-79982933997089387962008-02-06T11:53:00.000-08:002008-02-06T11:53:00.000-08:00Tim, thanks for this writeup.

My teams at Sage are working on the same issues - i.e., moving to agile and understanding how to incorporate our UX work into this new (to us) world - and your experience is definitely helpful. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Congrats on your post making the UX lists (at least one of which I of course won't name...).Paul Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351666209633813930noreply@blogger.com
