How to Set Up a Scoring Quiz

Give each choice a score, a variable, or both. The quiz adds them up as the customer answers. Logic then decides which text and which products appear at the end.

Use this method for:

  • Personality type quizzes, Dosha quizzes
  • Quizzes that show different results based on how many choices the customer picked (for example if the customer chooses most As, Bs, Cs, etc.)
  • Quizzes that show different text results based on choices
  • Quizzes that need to calculate scores that show different products

There are three ways to use a score once you have one.

Method Use it when
Winning variable quiz The outcome is a type, such as a skin type or a personality. The variable chosen most often wins
Scoring quiz with one results page One results page holds a section per outcome, and display logic shows the one that matches the total
Scoring quiz with multiple results pages Each score range gets its own results page, and jump logic sends the customer there

How to add scores or variables to choices

A score is a number a choice adds to a running total. A variable is a named bucket, such as dry skin, that keeps a total of its own. A choice can carry either, or both.

  1. Open the Quiz builder and add your Multiple-choice questions. For a quiz that works out a skin type, ask about age, skin condition, and so on.

  2. Open the Choice settings of a choice.

  3. Find the Scores and calculations section.

  4. Set the score for that choice with the up and down arrows. Negative values are allowed.

    Scoring three choices

    how to add scores or variables to choices

    • For choice one, set the score to 1.
    • For choice two, set the score to 2.
    • For choice three, set the score to 3.

  5. To add a variable, click the Search or create variable bar and type its name. For example dry skin or variable1.

  6. Click Create a new variable in the dropdown.

  7. Assign a score to the new variable.

  8. Repeat for every choice in the question, then move on to the next question.

Winning variable quiz

Give each choice a variable instead of a plain score. The variable with the highest total decides the outcome, and Display Logic shows the section that matches it.

how_to_shopify_v2_recommendations_winningvariable

The example below is a quiz for a skin care brand that works out the customer's skin type.

  1. Open the Quiz builder and add your Multiple-choice questions about the customer's skin condition. For example: itchiness, tightness or dryness.

  2. Assign a variable to every choice in the Choice settings.

    Adding the scores

    See how to add scores or variables to choices.

    Two questions, five variables

    Question 1: How does your skin feel when you wake up in the morning?

    • Choice 1: Tight (variable dry skin +1)
    • Choice 2: Normal (variable normal skin +1)
    • Choice 3: Oily (variable oily skin +1)
    • Choice 4: Combination (variable combination skin +1)
    • Choice 5: Sensitive (variable sensitive skin +1)

    Question 2: How does your skin usually look by midday?

    • Choice 1: Still tight (variable dry skin +1)
    • Choice 2: Same as in the morning (variable normal skin +1)
    • Choice 3: Shiny (variable oily skin +1)
    • Choice 4: T-zone shiny (variable combination skin +1)
    • Choice 5: Red and irritated (variable sensitive skin +1)

  3. Add a Results page to your quiz.

  4. Add one section per outcome to the results page.

    One section per skin type

    • Section 1: Dry Skin
    • Section 2: Normal Skin
    • Section 3: Oily Skin
    • Section 4: Combination Skin
    • Section 5: Sensitive Skin

  5. Add a heading, text and a Product block to each section.

  6. Set the Recommendation system to Fixed Recommendations in the product block settings, then pick the products for that skin type.

  7. Add Display logic to each section, so that it appears only for its own winning variable.

    One rule per section

    • If the variable with the highest score is dry skin, then Section 1 is visible. Otherwise Default visibility is hidden.
    • If the variable with the highest score is normal skin, then Section 2 is visible. Otherwise Default visibility is hidden.
    • If the variable with the highest score is oily skin, then Section 3 is visible. Otherwise Default visibility is hidden.
    • If the variable with the highest score is combination skin, then Section 4 is visible. Otherwise Default visibility is hidden.
    • If the variable with the highest score is sensitive skin, then Section 5 is visible. Otherwise Default visibility is hidden.

    Text for each skin type

    • You have Dry Skin: the itchiness, the tightness, the dryness. Your skin wants a routine that is deeply nourishing and hydrating.
    • You have Normal Skin: your skin feels balanced, just like you. It has no major issues, and it still deserves care. Your skin wants a routine that keeps that balance.
    • You have Oily Skin: Your skin is oh-so shiny, but with excess oil instead of your natural glow! Your skin wants a routine that reduces oil to provide balance and clarity, all while giving your skin the proper amount of light hydration.
    • You have Combination-Type Skin: Your skin has multiple things going on at once: you experience your T-zone to be on the oily side, while the rest of your face is either normal or dry.

  5. Add a Product Block to each section, holding the products for that skin type.

  6. Set the Recommendation system to Fixed Recommendations in the Product block settings.
