Scoring on Likert

I’m having trouble scoring a quiz in which respondents are scored in multiple categories.

Conceptually, the user completes the quiz and then sees their score in each category on the end screen. Since Matrix options don’t have a score feature yet, I’m using individual Likert-style questions comprised of statements and an agreement/disagreement scale of 6 options for each.

Each of the options in the scale have an assigned score value (0 for strongly disagree, 5 for strongly agree) and I have variables set up for each category they’re graded on. The logic looks like:

  1. [Statement]
    Always add [score] to [category 1]

But I find that the final score tally is totally off on the final screen.

Over six questions linked to 3 categories (2 questions for each), selecting the option that should score 1 for every question, I’m expecting:

Category 1: 2
Category 2: 2
Category 3: 2

I’m getting:

Category 1: 3
Category 2: 7
Category 3: 11

Obviously it’s not separating the scores. Is there a way to make this idea work?
