I feel the same way about surveys. I will answer short surveys, but the really 
long ones are I think a mechanism invented by upper management to get their 
customers to do their jobs for them.

Yeah. I get the impression that whoever wrote that question wasn't a native 
English speaker.
That question is one of those things where I decide that answering the survey 
isn't a good use of my time.

Hi

Also the question implies that there are a number of options to pick one from 
in the survey which means in LiveCode programming terms it would be a radio 
button)
Are there options  listed with the question?

In a software development context, "persona" usually refers to part of 
the user experience practice in which the target audience is divided 
into segments, with each segment primarily distinguished by needs and 
workflows, often personalized with names or other details to facilitate 
team discussion.


I covered personas briefly in my UX talk at the LC Global conference in 
2018.


A more complete discussion of personas in modern UX practice is here:

Hi Mathias,
"Persona" often just means "role" or maybe "actor" from a development 
perspective, if that helps. So, their asking for the role you play in your use 
cases for their services. I'm guessing the list will include personas such as 
developer, seller, buyer, sysadmin, end-user.
Hope that helps.
Best

Hi Matthias,

This isn’t a very well constructed English sentence, so the meaning is a little 
up to interpretation. In this kind of apparent context a user persona could 
refer to someone’s avatar, but that doesn’t seem right. What are the options 
that are offered?

Really OT, but i need the help of native English speakers

2022-10-31 Thread matthias rebbe via use-livecode 
Hi,

i am selling  my software through Fastspring. From time to time i get an 
invitation to answer a survey. Because i am very satisfied with Fastspring i am 
always happy to answer their surveys.

Now i am stumbling over a question  i do not understand and Google Translate is 
also not of great help.
What exactly does this question mean? Could someone on this list please help 
and describe it with own words?
I do not understand what they are asking me. I really don't get it.

The question is:
Please select the option that best defines your user persona of FastSpring's 
services.

I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Matthias
