This is being used in a graduate class of Qualitative Research Methods at the National University of Taiwan in Tainan, Taiwan with very good success. The success is in the form of interviews with high school students concerned with conflict resolution in an experiment, ‘Innovative Competition Using High Temperature Superconductor for Magnetic Levitation’.

Irv probably has exploitation issues with his method being used to collect consumer data, but the three-stage interview method is extremely effective in exploring consumption experiences.
