Marketing to the Reptilian Brain By Clotaire Rapaille Pry away the slick answers of a focus group and get to the instincts buried beneath. What's the biggest problem with traditional market research? You can't believe what people say. It's not that people intentionally lie during surveys and focus groups; it's that they try too hard to please. When asked about their interests and preferences, they tend to give answers they believe the questioner wants to hear. This is because people respond with their cerebral cortexes, the part of the brain that controls intelligence, rather than emotion or instinct. Their answers are the product of deliberation.
