How to Create a UMUX (Usability Metric for User Experience) Survey

 

UMUX allows you to measure the general usability of a system, website, or app. It consists of 4 statements for users to rate on a Likert scale. 

 

However, it doesn’t measure specific characteristics like usefulness or accessibility nor identify navigation issues, bottlenecks, or problems with particular elements of an interface.

Here is how the UMUX survey looks on your website:

How to Calculate the UMUX Score

 

In your UMUX Score, odd items are scored as [user score - 1], and even items are scored as [7 - user score].

 

Step 1: Add these differences and divide the sum by 24 (the highest possible score). 

 

Step 2: Multiply your quotient by 100.

 

Step 3: Average your results among users.

 

If you’re using a 5-point Likert scale, you will only have to make a few adjustments to the steps above. Even items should be scored as [5 - user score], and you’ll have to divide the sum by 16 instead of 24. 

 

For UMUX-Lite Scoring [7-point scale] 

 

The Items are scored by subtracting one from the user response: [user score - 1] 

 

Step 1: Add the two adjusted scores and divide the sum by 12 (the highest possible score). 

 

Step 2: Multiply your quotient by 100. 

 

Step 3: Average your results among users.  

 

If you’re using a 5-point Likert scale, you only have to make one change to the steps above: divide the sum by 8 instead of 12.

 

That is all about using the UMUX survey.
