Tie Breakers in Personality Quizzes (Follow up to Webinar)

My team is building a Leadership Style quiz (5 possible styles) and we're working on a way to resolve ties. We have 11 questions, with 5 possibilities each. This gives us the chance to have two different two-way ties or a 3-way tie at the end. We don't want to just choose a random style. We'd like to have the triggers set to choose one of the styles that's in a tie.

@DavidAnderson, any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jamie

  • I'm not sure what mechanism is in play to knock out all the other tie possibilities, but you might try these triggers:

    Set Result to Delegative if 1 = 2 OR 1 =3 OR 1 = 4 OR 1 = 5

    Set Result to Participative if 2 = 3 OR 2 = 4 OR 2 = 5  etc.

    Then for the triples:

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 2 and 1 = 3

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 2 and 1 = 4

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 2 and 1 = 5

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 3 and 1 = 4

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 3 and 1 = 5

    Set Results to 1 if 1 = 4 and 1 = 5

    Set Results to 2 if 2 = 3 and 2 = 4

    Set Results to 2 if 2 = 4 and 2 = 5 etc.
