Survey Purpose
Have you ever used a software application and felt that its
user interface does not meet your personal preferences?
The user interface preferences of software users vary according to multiple factors.
Yet in many cases software designers do not take this variation into consideration.
User interfaces can be made smarter through automated tailoring
to each user's personal preference.
The purpose of this survey is to construct a user model for tailoring
the user interfaces of enterprise software applications according to what users prefer.
Please note that this survey is not meant to assess you as a person,
it is only meant to ask about your opinion regarding user interfaces.
The data you provide will be completely anonymous.
If you agree to take part of this survey feel free to withdraw at any point.
