Heinz and Ebay back tests of new Conquest tool

The tool, Implicix, uses the same gamified and avatar-led animations employed by Conquest’s Metaphorix approach, which asks respondents to report their feelings by moving characters around within a number of different scenarios.

For example, respondents might be asked to express their excitement about a product by moving their avatar off the ground, or to demonstrate how close they feel to a brand by moving two characters closer together.

“This allows views to be expressed intuitively without the need to search for the vocabulary to ‘translate’ them,” says Conquest. In addition, it says its Implicix Matrix “correlates emotional significance with speed of reaction and accuracy in a given task to obviate the need for explicit questions”.
