Using Opinion Scales for Personality Quizzes

@chroniclebooks - welcome to the community from another user. 

the short answer is YES you can do this inside Typeform. You just need to use the Advanced Logic Branching and Calculations feature and probably a couple of variables that you should create to deal with the scoring.

Thanks, @john.desborough! Also yikes, this sounds way above my Typeform abilities. Any rudimentary articles I should read to get started?

Hi @chroniclebooks If you haven’t already checked them out, we have a handy article here on advanced logic jumps with calculations as well as an article here on using variables. From there, you can then use the recall information feature to pull the information into the form for the respondent to see. Let us know if you have any troubles getting that setup!

Thanks, @Liz ! I feel like I’m getting closer, but something still isn’t right. I set up a different variable for each of the 5 personality traits being measured, then added logic calculations to each of the questions--as in, “always add @question1 to @extraversion,” “always subtract @question2 from @agreeableness,” etc.--and then used the recall feature to list the scores for each trait at the end. It worked for the first two traits, but then the rest have super wonky numbers. (Should be between 1-10, but they’re way higher.) What am I doing wrong? Link here: http://bit.ly/YouAreWhatYouClick

@chroniclebooks - don’t use the ‘always’ to do the calculations because they execute all the way through the survey regardless of what is chosen in the answers. 

you will need to use the if answer is x then add y to variable_z for each response to have it work properly.. 

i see the issue you describe in the form - just completed it. 

try changing the always statements and see if that works better. lemme know if you want to show some screenshots of the logic and do a little deeper dive for you..

Ah, nevermind, I figured it out!

glad to hear!

I’m a bit late to the party, but glad you figured it out, @chroniclebooks ! Let us know if we can answer anything else. 

@chroniclebooks would be awesome to know how to got this fixed. It’s possibly be very useful for others in the future
