The argument that adding a fictional character (photograph, name, quote) increases empathy is bogus, in my experience. I've only seen it limit people's thinking, as it narrows down their perception of behavioral characteristics to 'Jane, 35' or 'Joe, 18). The core are the shared behavioral characteristics, which can be created without the rest, and in my view, work much better on their own. The 'quote' is actually a resume of the behavior characteristics. I prefer to make user profiles without the 'face and name' game. Also, I don't think I've ever seen something done SO wrong so often as persona's, in and out of school. I have my doubts about a form that lends itself so easily to abuse.
