Outcome quizzes

Here's how you can create outcome quizzes - for example, Which Star Wars Character are you? or Are you an extrovert or an introvert?

For an Outcome quiz like this, we created a series of questions, and then based on the answers chosen, people will see a different ending that suits their answers. You can think of it like a quick way of saying "people who answer mostly B are X kind of people".

If you're wanting to set a specific combination of rules to show a certain ending, you can combine Branching logic and Outcome quiz to make sure certain rules have priority. Learn more in our guide on using Branching and Outcome quizzes together.

How to create an Outcome quiz

For this example, we'll create a simple personality quiz. First we'll write our questions and endings, then link them together.

1. In your Workspace, click + Create form.

2. Click Start from scratch.

3. Select the question type you would like to add. We'll select Multiple Choice.

Click where it says Your question here..., and you can type in your first question and enter your answer choices.

4. Edit question settings, like making your question required, in the right-hand side menu.

You can also click the dropdown next to Multiple Choice to change your question type.

5. Now we'll add another question to our quiz. Click the + Add content button.

This will bring up a list of question types you can use. Search for or click the one you want. We're going to add a Picture Choice question.

6. As above, you can now write in your question and answer text. As it's a Picture Choice question, you can choose an image for each answer, by clicking on the choices. This will bring up our image library tool, which you can read about in our guide on adding images and GIFs.

We've created two picture choices and labeled them.

For this simple quiz, we'll just add one more Multiple Choice question, and then move on to creating our Endings.

7. Click the + sign next to Endings and select End Screen.

Then edit the text on your Ending.

After this, click the + button to add another Ending.

8. Our simple quiz will have two Endings. One that says You're an extrovert, and another that says You're an introvert.

9. Now it's time to link the answers to the Endings. In our case, we want the answers that relate to extroverts to link to the extrovert ending, and the introvert answers to the introvert ending.
Click the Workflow tab and select Outcome quiz.

10. You'll see this panel, showing your Endings.

Click Choose Answers under each Ending, and choose the answers which relate to each Ending.

In this case, the answers Dogs, Festivals and Loving public speaking will link to Looks like you're an extrovert, while the others link to Seems like you're an introvert.

Based on people’s answers, the outcome can also be a tie, which means that multiple Endings could apply to it. In these cases, the Ending coming first will be shown by default. For example, if the outcome could be either Ending A or B, people will see Ending A. If you have an Ending preference for ties, you can order your End Screens accordingly.

11. Once you've linked your answers and endings, click Save.

Your quiz is now working! Click the play button in the tool bar to preview and test out your quiz. 

If you're happy with how the quiz works click the Share or Publish edits button and you're ready to go. Don't forget you can customize the design of your Typeform.

Once you've collected responses to your quiz, you can view the Ending respondents were shown in the Responses section of your Results.
