Various tests are conducted around five types of experiences recorded in a semi-structured interview. Within the results it is noted that the participants tend to privilege less thoroughness in the resulting map, this is demonstrated through the inspection of their appreciations and their identification efficiency; nevertheless, the method leaves in them assertive messages of its qualities.
