A UX research report's 'methodology' section should describe:
The methodology section establishes credibility and reproducibility — readers need to understand how findings were produced to trust them.
2 / 10
Which phrase best introduces a key insight in a research report?
Strong insights are specific, quantified, and evidence-backed — naming how many participants experienced the issue grounds the finding in data.
3 / 10
In UX writing, an 'actionable recommendation' is one that:
Actionable recommendations go beyond problem identification to specify what to do — making it easy for teams to act on findings.
4 / 10
What does 'triangulating' data mean in UX research reporting?
Triangulation strengthens findings by showing that multiple data sources (interviews, analytics, surveys) point to the same conclusion.
5 / 10
Which sentence correctly scopes a research finding?
Research findings should be precisely scoped to the sample — 'all users' is an unsupported claim. Specifying sample size and exact counts builds credibility.

Sarah, the UX Researcher, is drafting a section of her report on user frustration with the new onboarding flow. She wants to highlight a key finding about users abandoning the process after step 3. Which phrase best introduces this insight?
Option 1 is the most appropriate introduction because it clearly states the key finding (drop-off rate) and connects it directly to the observed data. Options 2 and 3 are too vague; a good report needs specific details. Option 4 oversimplifies – drop-off rates don't *cause* frustration, they indicate a problem that requires further investigation.

Mark, during a code review of the user feedback module, asks you to clarify how the 'accessibility audit' data was collected. Which statement best defines an actionable recommendation in UX research, given this context? 'This report recommends that we prioritize fixing accessibility issues based on severity.'
An actionable recommendation goes beyond simply stating a finding. Option 2 correctly identifies that the report should lead to specific action – implementing changes. Options 1 focuses on severity which is a metric, not an action; option 3 calls for *more* research (not following up on existing findings); and option 4 describes documentation, not a recommendation.

You are writing the PR description for a change that improves the clarity of error messages in the mobile app. The team lead asks you to explain 'triangulating' data. Which of the following best describes this process?
Option 3 accurately describes triangulation in UX research: it's about using multiple methods (user interviews, analytics, usability tests) to confirm and strengthen a finding. Options 1 and 2 are misinterpretations of the term; option 4 is related to simplification, not triangulation.

David, a Senior Developer, sends you this Slack message: 'Just noticed the new search filter isn't returning results for users with multiple accounts. Need to investigate.' Which sentence correctly scopes a research finding in relation to this situation?
Option 2 precisely scopes the research finding by focusing on the specific issue – search filter and multiple accounts. It's a targeted observation rather than a broad statement about UX problems or data architecture. Options 1 is too generic; option 3 suggests a solution, not a scoped finding; and option 4 is far too expansive.
10 / 10
You're writing a report on user behavior during checkout. You've identified a high abandonment rate at the payment confirmation step. What is the most appropriate way to present this finding in your recommendations?
Option 1 provides a clear interpretation of the data – the drop-off suggests issues with trust or security. It frames the finding in terms of potential problems needing investigation rather than offering solutions like marketing or incentives. Options 2 and 3 are premature suggestions; option 4 makes an assumption about user behavior.
