What are Personality-Style Quizzes?

Personality-style quizzes group your questions into categories (such as learning styles, family priorities, or readiness factors). Each answer adds points to one or more categories. When the quiz is submitted, Enrollio totals the points and picks one outcome—usually the highest score (or the lowest if you want to highlight a gap).

That outcome shows on the Results page in the Individual Category section, where you can display the category name and score, add a short explanation, and guide families toward their next step.

Key Benefits of Personality-Style Quizzes

  • Clear Outcomes: One category is highlighted as the family's "type" for easy interpretation.
  • Deeper Personalization: Add custom fields and dynamic values to personalize parent journeys, segment quiz results, or show personalized content on results pages.
  • Richer Storytelling: The Rich Text Editor supports headings, lists, and links for polished result narratives.
  • Automation-Ready: Pair results with automations (e.g., branch by category) for targeted follow-up.
  • Higher Engagement: Add GIFs, explainer videos, and action-driven CTA buttons directly inside any quiz page.

How to Set Up a Personality-Style Quiz

Follow these steps to configure your quizzes to display only the highest or lowest category on the result page, creating personality-style outcomes or readiness assessments.

Step 1: Open a Quiz

Navigate to Sites → Quizzes → + Add Quiz (or select an existing quiz).

Step 2: Create Categories

Click on the Manage Categories option on the top-left side, then add your categories.

Examples for childcare: "Structured Learner," "Creative Explorer," "Social Butterfly," or "Morning Preferences," "Afternoon Preferences," "Full-Day Needs."

Step 3: Assign Categories & Scores

In the quiz builder, go to a question and look at the Options panel on the right.

Under each answer, assign a Category and a Score.

Step 4: Build the Results Page

After setting up your categories and scores, move to the Result Page editor. Here you can fully customize what parents see after completing the quiz.

Sections Available:

  • Header → Title, logo, business name toggle.
  • Overall Score → Shows the overall quiz result. You can choose to display a percentage (with optional Low/Medium/High ranges), the actual score, or an out-of-10 result.
  • Category Score → Shows the breakdown across all categories. You can also pick how each category score displays—percentage, actual score, or out-of-10—to match your overall score style.
  • Individual Category → Displays only the highest or lowest scoring category.
  • Call to Action → Add a button (e.g., Schedule a Tour, Request Info, Join Waitlist).
  • Footer → Add disclaimer, copyright, or links.

Step 5: Show Highest or Lowest Category

To configure personality-style results:

  1. On the Result Page, click + Add Section.
  2. Choose Individual Category.
  3. In the section settings, select:
    • Highest Category → Shows the category with the top score.
    • Lowest Category → Shows the category with the bottom score.

Use the editor to add text and include dynamic tags (available inside this section):

  • {{quiz_tags.highest_category_name}}
  • {{quiz_tags.highest_category_score}}
  • {{quiz_tags.lowest_category_name}}
  • {{quiz_tags.lowest_category_score}}

Example setups:

  • Highest → "Your child's strongest learning style is {{quiz_tags.highest_category_name}} ({{quiz_tags.highest_category_score}}%)."
  • Lowest → "An area to explore: {{quiz_tags.lowest_category_name}} ({{quiz_tags.lowest_category_score}}%)."

Pro Tip: Combine personality results with a clear next step. For example: "Based on your results, our Creative Arts program might be a perfect fit. Schedule a tour to see it in action!"

Step 6: Add Dynamic Score Ranges (Optional)

On the Overall Score or Category Score sections, you can configure score tiers (Low, Medium, High).

Example:

  • Low = 0–40%
  • Medium = 41–70%
  • High = 71–100%

Add a message for each tier (e.g., encouragement, recommendations, suggested programs).

Step 7: Save and Preview

Once all sections are configured, click Save.

Use the Preview option to complete the quiz and confirm:

  • Scores are calculating correctly.
  • Highest/Lowest categories display as expected.
  • Messages and CTAs appear in the right places.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I insert the dynamic tags?

Use the tag picker in the Rich Text Editor to insert Quiz Tags, Parent/Family fields, Custom Values, or timestamp tags.

How can I send different messages based on the result?

Use automations with a Quiz Submitted trigger to send tailored follow-up messages based on which category scored highest.

Can I show both the highest and the lowest category?

Yes. Add two Individual Category sections—one set to Highest, the other to Lowest—or pair Highest with the Category Score section to show the full breakdown.

Can I mix personality scoring with overall score percentages in the same quiz?

Yes. Use the Individual Category section for personality outcomes and the Overall Score section for total percent—both can coexist on the Result Page.
