Hi -

I am creating a quiz with multiple outcomes. Its a standard ‘what type of person are you’.. I ask 10 questions and depending on your answer it will say you are personality a,b,c,d,e etc. The logic method that will work for me is when the answers are counted towards an outcome rather than a score based approach.

All good so far.

However, some of the questions are so directly related to the outcome they need to have more impact on the final tally. 

Im wandering if its possible to weight certain questions so that they are effectively tallied twice versus a standard question. All answers to the given question would need to weighted the same. Some questions would have answers that are all 1x and some would have answers weighted 2x . 

 

Does this sound possible?

Hi @JamesMaster! Great question.

Have you considered using the Score Quiz as opposed to the Outcome Quiz?

Using a Score Quiz, you’d be able to assign a number to each answer instead of just an ending. So for certain questions, you could add +2 to the score.


Hi @andrew_videoask thanks for your reply! I had considered a score quiz but I was worried that wouldn't work and muddle the endings up as its not a case of knowledge or right/wrong answers? Unless I am missing the potential of a scored quiz? 

For example, at a basic level, I have 10 questions. If every answer to those questions is A then they are personality A, If there are 5 Bs and 5 As but one of the Bs has a 2x weighting It would tally 6 rather than 5 so the end tally would be 6 Bs and 5 As  with the personality result being B 

 


Hi @andrew_videoask - My quiz is personality based quiz - I have looked at using the score based logic over the last few days but it wont work. It has to be tally based so Im not sure its possible to do what I want. Thanks for the suggestion though. 


Did you ever find a solution to this?


Hi @RGP Development

 

Sadly at the time I did not find a solution that did exactly what I needed regarding a tally-based weighted answer. I dont know if things have changed in the past year as my client agreed to drop the weighting requirement. Sorry I cant be of more help. 


@JamesMaster @RGP Development  - here’s one simple option

  1. if you create variables to act as counters for the ‘number of A’s’ for example, and use the logic rules to add 1 to the counter each time someone choses the answer, you can then multiply the counter by a value (your weighting).. something along these lines: 
    1. if q2 = A then add 1 to v_a_count
    2. if q2 = B then add 1 to v_b_count
    3. etc
    4. and when it comes to weighting do this on the final set of logic rules
      1. always multply v_a_count by 1
      2. always multply v_b_count by 5
      3. etc
      4. if v_a_count is greater than v_b_count and v_a_count is greater than v_c_count etc go to ending for A
      5. do the same for the other values to determine where to route the user

 

this works well in many of the assessments i’ve created
