Hi David,
Can I ask you a question about this template? I'm trying to get my head around what it happening with the variables. If the users choices don't lead to any clear preference--let's say their preferences result in 2-2-2--the randomize variable kicks in, right? I've used a random number variable before, but this is new to me. It took me an hour to see that the quiz questions were being scrambled too! :) I turned that off while I'm developing. I hope my question is clear enough!

    You're exactly correct, Jodi! Because trigger order fires from top to bottom, the random number trigger only kicks in if the previous triggers fail to identify a choice with a majority.

    One way to build the interaction is to forgo assigning point values to each question and use only the random number variable at the end of the quiz to randomize the assigned character. It's a less scientific way but an easy way to get started.

    Here's an example file that uses only two choices with no variable point values and only the random number to randomize which slide the learners view when they reach the end: https://d.pr/f/E3SPji

      Oh, I get it, but I wouldn't have figured it out on my own....I think I have something going. It took me awhile to untangle it, but I never would have figured out that the trigger order was in play. So far it's doing what I want it to do. I should have something in a couple days. Thank you!
