I'm still thinking this out but is it possible to have a drag and drop interaction that counts the "type" of items dropped onto an destination and where there isn't an incorrect answer.
Also any suggestions how I could count items by type but still have the objects themselves look similar. I was thinking markers might be a nice object to drag
Nothing yet, Still not sure its possible. If you imagine you have a total of 30 objects and the user can drag any of them onto 1 destination area in any order. If you as the designer know each 1 of the 30 objects belongs to 1 of 5 families, could you find out which family made up the majority of the objects in the destination
When you say associate an object with family, my first thought goes to a Freeform Drag and Drop (see slide 1), but I do not think this will be overall what you are going for with the count you mentioned, so check out slide 2.
Its kinda what I thinking but instead of 3 drop zones there is only 1 and the count would equal the most frequent family. So in the image below it would be the triangle family.

Hi Michael!
Do you have a project started that we could take a look at to better understand?

I'm sure it's possible, but would take variables and lots of triggers :)
Easy bit first so :) how would you associate each object with its family?

Sure. Then you just have a variable for the categories - and add them as they drop them onto the target.
