I've personally found personas to be very effective design tools, and have frankly been surprised to hear so many negative opinions about personas from designers on forums like these, at conferences, and in my work over the last couple of years.
It's fantastic to see some research that not only shows personas can be effective, but identifies the specific characteristics that work best. Great report!
