Attitudinal Research

This section details the various recognised methods of attributing metrics to direct user feedback through multiple choice questionnaires.

These methods can be used individually or collectively in user feedback sessions.
An example of collective questioning would be (NPS+CSAT+CES+USERindex) a 13 question multiple choice feedback form.
However care should be taken when combining methods to maintain consistency between participant sessions and product research efforts to enable direct comparison studies.

Because some of the methods cover the same aspects, and some methods are updated versions of older methods, all the following methods should never be used collectively in any user testing sessions

 

The various methods and corresponding number of questions are as follows:
