Participants were asked to rank titles (prefixes and suffixes) in order of their preference. This doesn’t reflect current titles – this is preferred titles regardless of current titles.
- Surveys completed: 146 (hundreds of abandons)
- No data on participants (current titles, etc.) – anonymous ranking only without additional questions
- Request to take survey sent to: IxDA, Refresh, Agile-Usability, Facebook, Twitter
Results:
Prefix Rank (most preferred to least):
1. User Experience
2. Interaction
3. User Interface
4. Usability
5. Web
6. Other
Suffix Rank (most preferred to least):
1. Designer
2. Architect
3. Engineer
4. Developer
5. Other
Conclusion?
“User Experience” and “Designer” were the preferred terms, but not necessarily in conjunction. Although this doesn’t surprise me, I continue to question the long-term survival of “User Experience” as a title term. To me it is so ambiguous that it is essentially meaningless, an opinion that is supported by its misunderstanding outside (and within) our circles.
