Hello, human

Hello Human provides in-depth and detailed profiled persona information about the different types of humans we get to meet. The 10 UX Research personas, compiled by studies and interview data Adele has completed, have been carefully planned and laid out based on multiple participant similarities, identical characteristics and behaviours which form part of a combination of specifics like general human behaviour, personality types, tone of voice, body language as well as overall appearance and mannerisms. This guide will greatly assist current or aspiring UX professionals who want to know more about how to conduct UX research and studies to better understand their participants as well as professionals who want to understand their clients better. In this book, you will be introduced to the 10 personas you would most likely meet in your research studies, interviews or clients you deal with on a regular basis.

10 Participant Personas in UX Research

The Chatty One

Bursts into the room with a vibrant personality and colourful demeanour, eager to engage in conversation and share their thoughts.

The Quiet One

Appearing shy and introverted, they usually tend to be reserved and may require extra effort to encourage participation.

The Nervous One

Who just need a bit of reassurance to ease their nerves and help them relax during the study.

The Overly Confident One

Fills the room with charisma and energy, exuding self-assuredness and may dominate discussions.

The Bossy One

Possessing a strong personality and unwavering will, they may attempt to take control of the study.

The Secret Admirer

Showing more interest in the researcher than the study itself, they can be subtly flirtatious or overly attentive.

The Buffering One

meticulously contemplate their responses, taking their time to provide thoughtful answers to questions.

The Valentine

Oozing chivalry and flirtation, they may display romantic overtones during the research study.

The Gold Digger

driven solely by the desire for rewards, these ones are primarily interested in incentives or personal gain and may not provide genuine or accurate feedback on the product or feature being tested.

The Angry One

Most of us have been here. Motivated by a negative customer experience, they seek to express their grievances and be heard during the study.

The persona explained

The concept of "persona" as a tool to categorise individuals in various contexts like interviews, research, and meetings, emphasizing the roles in breaking down and clarifying traits for better understanding and analysis.

Body language and tone of voice

Learn how to listen to both tone of voice and body language to see the truth about how participants feel.

Conversation and structure

We look at the overall conversation structure when we engage with someone one-on-one or in a group setting as it is beneficial to have an understanding of how conversations flow and at which crucial points we either make or break a relationship.
