Scale Overview & Construct
26-item scale measuring user experience with a software product, website, or app across 6 dimensions: Attractiveness, Perspicuity (ease of getting familiar with it), Efficiency, Dependability, Stimulation, and Novelty. Originally a semantic-differential format (opposite adjective pairs on a 7-point scale); adapted here as comparative agree/disagree statements since this platform does not support slider-style bipolar items. Full long form — see also the 8-item UEQ Short Form (UEQS) for a quicker version covering just Pragmatic and Hedonic quality.

Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use
Imported from the OpenScales open item-bank project. This specific digital implementation has not been independently clinically validated by PsiQ — scores are for self-reflection, research, and educational purposes only. Each original item was a bipolar semantic-differential pair (two opposite adjectives with 7 gradations between them); to fit this platform's standard agree/disagree response format, each pair was rephrased as a single comparative statement oriented so that agreement always reflects the more favorable end of that pair, matching the same adaptation already used for the UEQ Short Form (UEQS).
