[Sigia-l] Usability Test Questions

[DwayneKing at 13tenMedia]

Hi Thomas,
Saw your response and am intrigued. I like what you're doing there with 
the questions. I'd be interested to see how you analyze and ultimately 
report that. For better or worse (likely worse) all of my user analysis 
is very quantitative, stuff I can plug into multivariate analysis and 
chug out numbers. I come from a statistics background, so I suspect 
this is me being trapped in my history. The stuff you're asking is much 
more qualitative and would definitely lead to some interesting 
discoveries, so I'd be interested to see how you (and any of the others 
on the list that care to share) report the findings.

Thanks,
Dwayne
