Finding, selecting, and screening participants
- The process for recruiting card sorting participants is much like recruiting participants for any other type of UX research. You need to find actual or representative users. To do so you need to create a screener which is just a list of questions that will help you identify who is right for your study and weed out those who aren't a good fit. This is where it comes in handy if you already have personas created. A screener is very easy to build out if you already have a solid understanding of your target user. Even if you don't have formal personas take some time to establish the top identifying characteristics of who you're trying to reach. Such as their general technical skill or usage of a particular type of software. For instance, if you're working on an application that allows parents to schedule medical appointments for their family you don't want to talk to a childless single person who has no idea what a parent may need to consider when scheduling.
