It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Angel, Sue Mason, Marley, Robert J. and Stadtlander, Leann (1994): Perceived Exertion Scales: Toward Development of Improved Verbal Anchors. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 626-630.

An experiment documented the choices of verbal anchors or word triggers by subjects observing five different videotaped work operations. Their surveyed numeric scalings and word selections were compiled to form a list of ten words which are recommended to describe amount or degree of work basing performed. This study acknowledges that there is inherent risk in applying words to work measurement scales, but the list may be helpful as a guide to choosing appropriate words to indicate work content or for job descriptions.
