Quiz with four main outcomes that we want to push to sub category question groups


Can someone help me understand how to structure our personality quiz?

We’re starting everyone with 20 questions that each have 4 answers (all ‘a’ questions = fight, all ‘b’ questions = ‘flight’, all ‘c’ questions = ‘freeze’, and all ‘d’ questions = ‘fawn’)---we used the outcome logic to create the correct answer and it worked great. 

 

Once we’ve determined their main type from the 4 options, we’d like for them to answer 20 more questions to determine their sub-type based on their main type. There are 20 more questions for each of the 4 types to help narrow this down. 

Perplexity told me it wasn’t possible to do that with an outcome based quiz, but then again it also said I needed to score the questions and then add rules that were not possible to achieve the jump to the 4 question groups, so I don’t know. I’ve spent the last 2 hours going back and forth with their suggestions and either I’m not understanding them or they’re wrong. (they’ve admitted they’re wrong a handful of times already tonight). 

Can anyone take pity on me and help me figure out how to structure the quiz? 

I created a scored version using 4 variables and rules for each answer. But now I can’t figure out how to get the correct main group and then have them jump to part 2 of the quiz to determine their subtype--because what I did here didn’t work:

Tagging ​@john.desborough in case he has any advice for you!

One thing to note is that once the outcomes are shown, that is the end of the form, so you would need to redirect the respondents to another form to have them complete more questions.

This article here can walk you through how to set up that redirect!

We submitted a formal ticket through the help desk, but it appears as though the proposed solution still won’t work. This was the suggestion: As a workaround, you could perform a subtraction calculation between variables to determine which is greater. It would be something like: Always subtract variable_a from variable_b > then another would be > IF variable_a is greater than 0, THEN go to Ending A. All other cases would go to Ending B. This is because we now know that variable_a is highest between the two.

But we have 4 variables and we need quiz takers to find the total number of any of the 4 answers that would then funnel them to their correct subgroup of questions (or part 2 of the quiz). Like this:

 

 

We know how to get the total number to feed them to an end/outcome screen using variables, but we need the total to jump to a subgroup of questions instead of an outcome screen. This was how we set up the rules to jump to those subgroups, but it didn’t work (note there’s only one question in the subgroups as we’re trying to nail down the logic):

 

 

Should we scrap this approach and try to figure out how to score using each of the 4 subgroup questions (20 each) to score quiz takers instead? So they’d answer 80 questions (we could shorten this, obvs) and then we’d figure out how to funnel them to the correct outcome screen.

Where we got tripped up there was that we’re doing multiple choice questions--5 options and there are 10 types to funnel people to and my brain hurts just thinking about it. BUT, if that’s the better option based on the limits of TF for our original plan, I’d rather put our heads together to figure that approach out instead. Curious if you have a minute to share an opinion on these two options ​@john.desborough Thanks in advance!!

@kristenboss - i would suggest that the second subgroup of questions is a separate form - the user completes the first quiz and is redirected on completion to the appropriate second form. then you more easily manage the routing logic. 

that’s how i have done this for clients in the past.

Big thanks ​@john.desborough for weighing in and putting us out of our misery!! I just created a mini version of this and it’ll work. It’s much better than having to figure out how to funnel 80 questions into 10 outcome screens lol ;)
