What points are

Points can be assigned to each answer in your quiz. The points can belong to a specific dimension, and can have different weights. These points can then be used inside Advanced Logic to display content conditionally.

How to set up the points

Click the Points tab at the top of the quiz editor, and click Create Your First Dimension:

You will then be prompted to name your dimension. In this example, we will set up a personality quiz where you can get three different types of personality results at the end based on your answers: Dog, Cat, or Fish. Let's add the first one:

Once you do so, you will have access to the full Points Configuration. Before we go over all the options, let us add the two other dimensions, Cat and Fish:

Going over all the options in Points Configuration

Now that we have done so, let us see what options we have here:

  1. Question pages: A list of all the pages with multiple-choice questions in your quiz. You can click a question here to set up its points.

  2. Points dimensions: A list of all the points dimensions you have created.

  3. Edit Points: Opens the panel where you can edit how many points are assigned per answer and dimension. This is the panel we are currently looking at.

  4. Preview: Opens the panel where you can simulate and preview how points accumulate throughout the quiz. We will look at this in a moment.

  5. Dimension: The name of the dimension that is being configured in this column.

  6. Column actions: Here, you can rename the column, copy the column, fill all cells in the column with the same value, or clear the column entirely.

  7. Cell points: Change how many points should be scored for this answer and dimension.

  8. Add dimension: Create a new dimension.

  9. Undo: Undo your last action.

  10. Redo: Redo your last undo.

Adding points to answers

On the Points Configuration panel, you can set up which dimensions will get scored, what answer scores them, and how many points they will be scored.

In this example, each answer will score one of the animal personalities with one point each:

You can then switch to the next question on the Question pages, and score the next questions subsequently:

You can also access the answer points settings directly inside the answers on the quiz editor's Build tab here:

You can assign points and create new dimensions. By clicking Copy to all answers in this question, you will copy these exact settings to all answers inside this question.

Using points in advanced logic

You can use points in Advanced Logic to display pages, answers, results pages, product blocks, and individual products conditionally. Make sure to check out this guide before proceeding if you are not familiar with Advanced Logic.

Comparison operators for points

Points can be used via the following comparison operators:

  • < (less than): The point value is less than the number you set.

  • (less than or equal to): The point value is less than or equal to the number you set.

  • = (equal to): The point value is exactly equal to the number you set.

  • (greater than or equal to): The point value is greater than or equal to the number you set.

  • > (greater than): The point value is greater than the number you set.

  • between: The point value is within a range of two numbers you specify. This is inclusive, meaning if you set up "between 1 and 3", 1, 2, and 3 will match the condition.

  • is highest: This point value is the highest among all point categories being compared. If two dimensions tie for points, the one that was created first will be the one shown.

In our example, since we are creating a personality quiz, we will use is highest, as the personality with the most points will be the one shown in the end.

Putting it all together

To finish setting up our example for this article, we have created three different content blocks for each animal personality: Dog, Cat, and Fish, all in the same results page:

We also have four questions with three possible answers, each scores one point toward its respective animal:

We will add the logic to each of the content blocks like this:

Dog:

Cat:

Fish:

Note that all content blocks now have the Advanced Logic symbol next to them, indicating that they contain Advanced Logic conditions:

Now, when previewing our quiz, let us test these answers and count the points as we go:

  • Dog: 1

  • Cat: 0

  • Fish: 0

  • Dog: 1

  • Cat: 1

  • Fish: 0

  • Dog: 1

  • Cat: 1

  • Fish: 1

  • Dog: 1

  • Cat: 2

  • Fish: 1

As expected, we should get Cat as our personality, since it scored the highest amount of points:

You are not limited to the setup shown in this example. You can use different comparison operators, use points for products instead of media content, and much more!
