What is preference testing?
Preference testing is a research method for determining a variation preference. Test participants are asked to choose which variation they prefer. The Preference Test can be used to determine preference on logos, icons, palettes, designs, mockups, content, copies, and text styles. With this type of test, you can get insights on which variation participants prefer, and with an additional survey, to understand why they chose it.
Preference testing is useful when you want to:
- Measure preference between versions of the same element of a product.
- Get proof of concept early on, before investing in development.
- Better understand what users want and why.
Useful feedback
Why conduct preference testing?
Choose between variations
Preference testing is a simple and effective method when debating becomes a need for making a decision. It eliminates guesswork and can help you to choose between variations, by asking users which one they prefer.
Test any element of your product
Scale up your research by asking testers to determine their preference on almost everything. From designs, icons, and logos to microcopies, content, and styling. Collect data and see if the preference changes for different tester groups.
What can you do with preference testing?
