A short version of the UEQ with just 8 items is available for some special application scenarios.
The user experience questionnaire (UEQ) is a widely used questionnaire to measure the subjective impression of users towards the user experience of products. The UEQ is a semantic differential with 26 items. Filling out the UEQ takes approximately 3-5 minutes, i.e. the UEQ is already reasonably efficient concerning the time required to answer all items. However, there exist several valid application scenarios, where filling out the entire UEQ appears impractical. Therefore we created a 8 item short version of the UEQ, which is optimized for these specific application scenarios.
The handbook describes the most important facts concerning the usage of the UEQ.
