Can I hide the score from users?
Yes! Ask: "Don't show the score to users" if you only want to see it in submissions.
Can I set different point values for questions?
Yes! Weight questions differently: "Make question 5 worth 5 points instead of 1."
How do personality quiz scores work?
For personality quizzes, answers are mapped to outcomes instead of points. The most frequent answer type determines the result.
