Example: Finding out what people really think, want or believe

The methods in this course fit together, to unpack topics systematically, as shown below.

Card sorts, to find out what is important to people: Which features of a building are important to this person?

Laddering, to find out why something is important to people: Why did this person consider being sturdy important in a building? Was it for security, or something else?

Visual analogue scales, to quantify someone’s judgments about the features that matter to them: How sturdy do they consider each building in the pack to be?
