Scoring & Assessment Rules

"Scoring" means different things by quiz type: Knowledge Quiz focuses on right/wrong and totals, while Scored Quiz focuses on multi-dimensional analysis and reports.

Knowledge Quiz: scoring and judgment

In a Knowledge Quiz you can:

Set points: Assign points to questions or correct options.
Judge right/wrong: Mark correct answers; the system judges each question automatically.
Sum totals: Points are added up automatically.
Levels: Split the total into score bands (see Levels) — each band shows its own result instead of a bare number.
Answer feedback: Show respondents the correctness and explanation per question.
AI Match: Grade fill-in-the-blank answers by semantic similarity instead of exact or contains matching, with an accuracy threshold you set. AI grading is unlimited.

Points and right/wrong judgement are available in Knowledge Quiz and Random Knowledge Quiz. Scored Quiz scores each option instead, and Outcome Quiz doesn't score at all.

Outcome: winning by votes

An Outcome quiz doesn't score — it counts votes. Each option votes for one or more outcome types, and the type with the most votes wins; ties go to whichever comes first in the outcome list.

Every outcome can carry its own CTA button, wiring an entertaining result straight into a next step. See The four quiz types.

Scored Quiz: dimensional analysis

In a Scored Quiz, scoring is more about "profiling" than right/wrong:

Multi-dimensional scoring: Define several dimensions, each with its own formula over question codes; after submission, each dimension's formula gives its score, often shown as a radar chart. A dimension with no formula always scores 0.
Result profile: Produce personality/ability conclusions based on dimension scores.

By default a Scored Quiz total is the sum of every scored question: the points of the chosen options in single choice, multiple choice, dropdown, true/false and cascade questions, plus the stars given on a rating question (or the score you set for that star). The full mark is the sum of each question's highest possible score, which lets the result page draw a score ring. Number, date and time answers are not added in — they are raw values such as an age or a date, not points.

Need weights, dimension scores or number/date answers in the total? Write a formula under Overall Analysis in the report settings. A formula replaces the default sum and can reference question codes and dimension codes — for example, count one question double, or add up two dimensions. With a formula there is no natural full mark, so the result page shows the score without a ring.

Fill-in-the-blank only collects text and is never scored — free text cannot take part in arithmetic, so it produces no score and does not appear among the insertable fields in the formula editor. That makes it the right way to ask one open-ended question ("anything else we should know?") inside a scored assessment.

Levels and result-page actions

Split the total score into levels (0–60 needs work / 60–80 good / 80+ excellent). Each carries a name, colour and description, and can hold a CTA button — the low band might offer "Book a consultation". This is the step that wires an assessment into conversion.

Don't want respondents seeing a number? Turn on Hide scores: the overall score and every dimension score (score ring/number, percentile, progress bars, score rate) disappear from the result page, while the levels and analysis stay — better for quizzes that should feel like a diagnosis rather than an exam. If your summary template still inserts the score variable, remove it too, or the score will still show there.

Result page section order

Below the overall result, the result page can carry a Dimension Analysis block, a Booking section and a Respondent feedback block. In the editor's Report preview, select a block and use Move Up / Move Down to set the order respondents see them in — for example, put booking first when the call is the goal.

The booking section and the feedback block are switched on under Settings → Result page follow-up — see Quiz settings.

Report generation

Synchronous: Basic scoring is calculated immediately after submission.
Asynchronous: Heavier computation such as dimensional analysis is generated asynchronously; reports go through a "generating → completed" state, and the system retries automatically on failure.
