How to Calculate the Most Selected Options Across Multiple Questions in Typeform?

vivekthakur.b2b

I want to ask 6 questions and each question has 4 multiple-choice options that map to one of the 4 personality types:

  • The Hustler
  • The Overthinker
  • The Distracted Creative
  • The Zen Seeker

e.g. Q1: What’s your biggest struggle when trying to be productive?

  • I keep pushing but crash halfway through the day (Hustler)
  • My brain’s too noisy—I can’t focus on one thing (Overthinker)
  • I start a bunch of things but don’t finish them (Distracted Creative)
  • I need forever to get going, even when I know what to do (Zen Seeker)

At the end, the result is calculated based on the most frequently selected type across the 6 questions.

How to achieve it?

​@vivekthakur.b2b ​@Liz - this should be able to be determined by an Outcome quiz … though, if there are ties, the user will be routed to the ending/category that is the first-most in the list. ie of C and D are tied with 3 choices each as most selected, Typeform will default to C as the answer

if you create a subtotal variable for each category, you can use the logic rules to add 1 point to the appropriate variable selected. then you the logic rules to evaluate which variable scores the highest  - you will have break the ties yourself with a logic rule(s)
