N2 - The objective of this study was to evaluate, using ergonomic principles, a number of interesting looking instruments. A three phase evaluation procedure, comprising a paired comparison procedure, subjective evaluation and objective assessment was followed. A total of 8 pens were evaluated using 30 students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Results showed that such a three phase methodology can be effective in evaluating products. The results also have ramifications for designers and users of pens.
