PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT
1.
This week I finished the method
translation of brainpower. Just a little part I still need improve it since it
is hard for me to understand. And here are my comments of the method.
A. I think this is a nice method, even some content I knew
before, but still much new information makes me interested. Like the food
intake and take care of your brain in the evening. For me, i always don't care
my food intake and I often can't sleep well at night, now I know i need take
care of that, before sleep, I will stop drinking COKE, but drink milk or honey.
So that will make me sleep well. And before I knew the left brain and the right
brain, so know it is important for me to develop the right brain, but I did not
know how, from this method, i learn some exercises to develop that. So I think
I will try following this method, hope i can improve my brainpower.
B.
For this method, especially for the exercises, better it can give some picture,
so that can make the reader to understand how to do the exercises, because if
only descript by the language, that also often make misunderstanding happened.
This is a mainly reason, why so far, i still have one exercise can't understand
well.
C. Some
part I think if more detail better. Like" Finally don’t forget to get
enough calcium and magnesium, as these protect you from numerous toxins and
helps prevent over fatigue or skull disorders.", but what food full with
CA and MA? So better it can give a list of the food, so i will know what food i
will intake everyday.
D.
Better we can relate this article to our IQ and EQ test. Like at the beginning,
we can ask the reader take the IQ test to know their brain power, and at the EQ
part, we can suggest them take the EQ test etc.
E.
From this article i find just few number data inside, I think most science
article, better choose more number data information, so that is easy to make
the reader have deep express and easy to believe.
F.
About the left-brain and the right brain functions, some world is hard to
understand for the normal reader, and that part better give more example or
even celebrities to make the reader to understand.
2.
I checked the corrected Chinese version IQ test again, and communicated
with Sir Chris, and he changed the errors that I found.
LAUNCH IQ TEST
This Wednesday I send the
message of TRY our IQ test in my High school and college BBS, and on Thursday,
I send this to around 30 Chinese email and their QQ, and since some friends on
line, so I got some comments on time.
Now I got 5 reactions.
1.
Yuan, Guan Xin
A.
Before attend this test, she is so exciting, because she can get it
free, and she is very interested in this kind of test.
B.
For her the mainly problem is she did not finish all the questions in 35
minutes. She just finished 47 questions. She said it is so slowly to open every
question page, even she is using ADSL, so she waste much time on waiting the
pages.
2.
Li, Hong Bo
A.
It is slowly to open the page, need always wait.
B.
He thinks our questions are a bit easy than he thought, and he thought
our questions type is not nice. He thought we just had compares the different
pictures, and choose the different mostly.
C.
And he had a different idea about question 15, and then I checked
question, I agree with him, this question’s translation has a little problem,
at the last sentence, should add “ he at least need deliver 6 times “ but we
forgot the “ at least”.
D.
He got 117, he satisfies with his score. And he told me his office mates
also interested in our test; they will try after office time.
E.
He like our personal report since he thought what we write inside is
really fit him.
3.
Liu, Jing ying
A.
Since she is my housemate, so no problem in the speed to open the web
page. And she knows our English version before, so this time she got 140.
B.
She had a disagree idea about question 9. She told me “ A, Z, H, F, E”,
if follow the vowels, ‘ A, H, F,
E’ are pronounced vowel, only Z is not.
C.
And many problems in the personal report.
There
are three wrong worlds, I checked, I agree we type wrong.
There
are one sentence is in code, I checked, I agree, that sentence is the first
sentence of math intelligent. It is code, but not Chinese worlds.
And
at the question answer parts, the 50th question, we did not mark
which answer is right one.
4.
There are still another two friend told me they are very interested in
Trying our test, they will do it tonight. This a good news that many people
interested.
So for all, I thought there two
mainly problems:
1.
Slowly speed, I thought that since
our service system not in China, that is why, so in the future if we partner
with SOHU or SINA, so I thought that would not be a problem about the speed.
2.
Problems in personal report. Since before we often check the errors in
the questions part. And we can’t often check the personal report, so that is
why this time we find the problems in the personal report. I will discuss these
with Suzanne.

discussed all the market information and sales information, and we also talked
