Gary Chapman’s best-selling book, The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts, teaches us that relationships thrive when we understand each other and can speak the same “language”. But this isn’t just true for love or friendship—it’s also true in our professional lives. Half the job of a UX researcher is to communicate, and nailing this communication can be the difference between research that has impact and research that doesn’t. In this talk we’ll go over the five love languages, discuss how they relate to our craft, and outline ways we can apply an understanding of them to result in research that wows.
