About this template

Personas drawn from marketing assumptions miss the design mark. This form collects persona evidence directly from users in sixteen fields: background bands (age, gender identity, region, education, employment status), the primary objective when engaging with you, how they discovered you, engagement frequency and usage intensity, four attitude statements on research style, expert reliance, early tool adoption and privacy, plus written accounts of the last end-to-end task, the tools and workarounds in play, what goes wrong most often and what would make the task effortless. Cluster the responses and each persona is written from real language rather than guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many interviews per persona?
Three to five users per persona usually show the pattern; the written task and friction answers are what you cluster before naming one.
Why capture behavior instead of preferences?
Stated preferences shift; the "last time you..." recall and frequency tags show what actually repeats — that is what designs must fit.
Is this usable remotely?
Yes — send it as a self-complete form or walk through it live on calls; live answers dig deeper, forms scale wider.
Should demographic questions be included?
Only the ones your design varies by — this form keeps five background bands and spends the rest of its length on goals, behaviour and friction.
How do responses become a persona document?
Cluster similar responses, write each persona’s goals and pains from the actual words captured and link evidence back.
Is it free per study?
Yes — copy per product area or research round.
