I had to laugh a little when I first read this; you want to validate the "make believe". Can you validate the tooth fairy! (TFIC)
I've always believed that a persona is NOT a metric. You can't and shouldn't measure or baseline it - it is there to guide you in lieu of more solid research which is often missing because of budget, time limits or timeframe constraints; as Todd said, "but I'd trust actual interviews of people I know more." People can be measured - personas are a framework to guide you and overlaying them with solid metrics may hinder you in using your personas effectively. regards Stephen Holmes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
