Questionnaire resources

I designed my questionnaire and decided to serve it on only 5 people based on research sources mentioned in previous post and the following:

I posted the following in webct discussions:

Anyone thought about their questionnaire yet? I guess the idea is to ask some general questions relating to internet usability rather than ones specific to the site we are conducting market research for? Do these questions seem okay or is the answer already obvious? are some too technical?

1.If a web page is taking too long to load (be viewable) can you be bothered waiting?
2.What internet content, if any would you wait more than a few minutes for to load?
3.Do you know how to make the text size larger on web pages in your browsers menu? (yes or no)
4.Do you know what screen resolution you use while browsing the internet? (yes or no)

and received these responses....so far:

I read Nielsen's usability testing article, which recommends only asking the questions of five people: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20000319.html

And read this article: http://www.ahref.com/guides/design/199806/0615jef5.html which says ask a few general questions like their name and internet proficiency and to explain to participants that there is no right and wrong answers etc..

will make next post my completed questionnaire example

Jan...

You've inspired me more for the questinnaire. Great.

I read over the Market Research criteria again today 'detailed analysis on the audience you are designing for (including the results from a distributed questionnaire, if necessary)'...

Sounds like a plan!!

Thanks for the inspiration!!

Cheers.
