Wufoo On Asking Users for Their Feelings (particletree.com)

I was going to suggest:

This problem has me: <dropdown> or

This situation has me: <dropdown>

It's a support request, so people are certainly having a problem. Although "situation" might be more neutral. I think my way is the best, and it doesn't sound so drab as "Input Emotional State Parameters Here".


"Emotional State" sounds too general to me. I went with "Current feeling for ourdoings.com" specifically.


How about "I am feeling ... <dropdown>"


Same problem. I imagine a user reacting negatively: "This isn't about my emotional state; it's about your byzantine site navigation." Putting the feeling question into the context of my site eliminates that.


"I am feeling excited/happy" that I got to listen to one of Kathy Sierra's talks with slides and all! Thanks for posting the link and well done of experimenting with one of her ideas ...
