Plain text may not be enough to describe your persona in depth in terms of personal characteristics, skills, and motivating factors. For a visual representation of the traits and preferences a persona has, turn to the skills section in UXPressia's Personas tool.

There are two ways to use the skills section:

1. To demonstrate how familiar your persona is with particular concepts or technologies, or how proficient they are at a certain skill. By default, the scale ranges from 0 to 100, but you can change the span and the intermediate points if you like by clicking on each number and typing a different one instead.

2. You can also type in words instead of numbers and, for instance, show where the persona stands between two opposite characteristics of a spectrum.

Here is how you can do that:

  • Once you add the default section, hover over a number and click on it;

  • Delete all numbers with Backspace and type in the characteristics you want (e.g. 'Extrovert' and 'Introvert') at the two ends of the scale.

As a result, you can have two different configurations of the same section to describe your persona characteristics. And here's how an exported variant looks like:
