Have you ever wanted to create quizzes that help your visitors find exactly what they need?
Picture a simple ‘Find Your Perfect Product’ quiz on your website. Customers answer a few questions and receive instant, personalized recommendations. Or consider a placement test that automatically assigns students to the appropriate course level.
Quizzes like these enhance user engagement, collect email addresses, and convert hesitant visitors into confident customers.
Unfortunately, many quiz tools are either prohibitively expensive, too simplistic to be effective, or overly complex, requiring a developer just to set up the scoring system.
It shouldn’t be this challenging to ask your visitors a few questions and provide them with a result.
That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce the Quiz Addon by WPForms.
As you may know, WPForms is the leading form builder, trusted by over 6 million websites. With the Quiz Addon, you can easily create graded tests, personality quizzes, and weighted assessments within the familiar form builder you already appreciate.
Whether you operate an online store, teach courses, or provide consulting services, you can create effective professional quizzes without the stress or high costs.
Background Story – The Inspiration Behind the Quiz Addon
For years, readers of CanadaCreate have been asking, “What is the best way to integrate a quiz into my WordPress site?”
For a long time, the truthful answer was… it’s quite complicated.
The specialized quiz plugins often appeared outdated, charged high fees for basic functionalities, or demanded extensive setup time just to get scoring right.
I’ve seen store owners abandon product recommendation quizzes, course creators give up on placement tests, and coaches drop lead qualification strategies… all because the tools made straightforward tasks seem impossible.
In contrast, businesses with larger budgets were leveraging quizzes to significantly enhance conversions. Product finders that minimize cart abandonment. Personality quizzes that automatically segment email lists. Assessments that qualify leads before sales calls.
These were not just nice-to-have features. They were effective conversion tools that most WordPress site owners simply could not access.
This situation didn’t sit well with me.
So, I challenged my team at WPForms to create something unique: a quiz solution that is as powerful as the costly standalone tools, yet as simple as setting up a contact form.
That’s precisely what the Quiz Addon offers.
What is the WPForms Quiz Addon?
The WPForms Quiz Addon is a versatile tool that allows you to create three different types of quizzes directly within the WPForms builder:
1. Graded Quizzes: Ideal for scenarios where answers can be classified as correct or incorrect. Perfect for knowledge assessments, course evaluations, employee training, trivia games, or academic tests. You can specify the correct answers, set your grading criteria, and WPForms will automatically calculate the scores.
2. Personality Quizzes: Best suited for matching users to specific outcomes instead of scoring them. Create quizzes like “Which Product Is Best for You?” or “What Is Your Leadership Style?” Each answer corresponds to a personality type, and WPForms will identify the best match based on your results.
3. Weighted Quizzes: Perfect for situations where some answers should carry more weight than others. Assign point values to each option and generate different outcomes based on score ranges. This is how you can create effective lead qualification quizzes, readiness evaluations, or risk assessment tools.
The most exciting feature? You can describe the quiz you envision in simple language, and WPForms AI will create it for you, including questions, answer options, and results.
No more spending hours customizing templates. Create a fully functional quiz that’s ready to publish in no time.
Personality Quizzes That Connect Visitors to Their Ideal Outcomes
Have you ever taken a quiz that reveals which character you resemble or which product suits your style? That’s the essence of a personality quiz, and now you can create them effortlessly within WPForms.
Each answer option corresponds to a specific outcome, and WPForms identifies the best match based on user responses.
You can define the potential results, known as personality types, and link each answer choice to one of these types. Once a user completes the quiz, WPForms calculates their answers and displays the corresponding outcome automatically.
This unlocks a range of powerful opportunities:
- Product RecommendationsInquire about preferences, needs, or budget, and guide customers to the perfect product with a direct purchase link.
- Service MatchingAssist potential clients in selecting the right package or tier before they reach out to you.
- Lead SegmentationAutomatically categorize subscribers based on their interests, experience levels, or buying intentions.
- Engagement QuizzesDesign entertaining ‘What Type of [X] Are You?’ quizzes that encourage sharing and expand your email list.
No more manual sorting or complicated scoring systems. Just straightforward questions, corresponding answers, and tailored results.
Automatically Graded Quizzes That Score Responses Instantly
For questions with definitive right or wrong answers, a graded quiz is essential. WPForms automatically calculates scores — all you need to do is specify the correct answers and set your grading criteria.
For each question, indicate the correct answer (or input accepted answers for text fields). You can then personalize your grading scale by defining percentage ranges for each letter grade. Participants will immediately see their score, percentage, or letter grade upon submission.
You can also activate instant feedback, showing whether each answer is correct or incorrect as participants proceed — ideal for practice tests where immediate learning is beneficial.
Graded quizzes are perfect for the following purposes:
- Course assessments: Evaluate knowledge before or after lessons with automatic scoring that eliminates hours of manual grading.
- Placement tests: Implement conditional outcomes to direct participants to different results based on their scores. High achievers access advanced content, while lower scorers receive beginner-level recommendations.
- Training and certification: Develop timed assessments for employee onboarding, compliance training, or skills validation.
- Engaging Trivia and Contests:Conduct interactive quizzes to boost engagement, host giveaways, or foster community connections.
Eliminate spreadsheets and manual calculations. Enjoy instant and accurate results.
Weighted Quizzes That Evaluate Based on Value, Not Just Correctness
In some cases, there isn’t a single correct answer — however, some responses should carry more weight than others. This is where weighted quizzes become useful.
Rather than simply marking answers as right or wrong, you assign a numeric weight (ranging from 0 to 99) to each option. WPForms calculates the total weight from the selected answers, allowing you to trigger different outcomes based on score ranges.
This provides adaptable scoring for various scenarios such as:
- Lead Qualification: Assign greater weights to responses that suggest readiness (such as a larger budget, shorter timeline, or urgent need). Direct high scorers to your sales team while placing others into a nurturing sequence.
- Readiness Assessments: Assist prospects or students in evaluating their current status before committing to a program, service, or purchase.
- Risk Scoring: Assess risk levels for insurance, financial planning, or health evaluations based on weighted responses.
- Surveys with PrioritizationWhen certain responses hold more significance, weighting allows you to accurately assess preferences and tendencies.
The overall score determines the outcome, enabling you to display distinct messages, redirect to specific pages, or initiate different follow-up actions based on the user’s results.
Customized Outcomes for Every Quiz Result
What users encounter after finishing your quiz is just as important as the questions themselves. The Quiz Addon replaces standard confirmation messages with customizable Outcomes — result screens tailored for each scenario.
Each outcome can showcase a personalized message, redirect to a designated page, or guide quiz participants to any URL. Utilize smart tags to incorporate dynamic information such as their score, percentage, letter grade, or personality type.
With conditional logic, you can design multiple outcomes and display different ones based on quiz results:
- Graded quizCelebrate high scorers by directing them to advanced content. Provide encouragement to lower scorers with study resources and a link for retaking the quiz.
- Personality quizPresent a distinct outcome for each personality type, complete with personalized recommendations or product links.
- Weighted quizActivate varying messages or redirects based on score ranges.
A default outcome is provided for participants who do not meet specific criteria, ensuring that every quiz taker receives a relevant result.
Integrated Results Dashboard for Monitoring Quiz Performance
All quiz submissions are seamlessly integrated into WPForms’ entry management system, eliminating the need for a separate dashboard or additional export processes.
The Quiz Addon features a specialized Results view with customizable graphs that display responses for each question. Easily identify common answers, recognize challenging questions, and analyze trends among all quiz participants at a glance.
Filter results by grade range, personality type, completion status, or specific answers. Save custom filters for regular reports — for example, if you want a monthly review of quiz completions above 75%, save that filter for quick access in the future. Export results as JPEG or PDF to share with your team.
Since quiz results are stored within WPForms, they integrate seamlessly with your entire workflow:
- Automatically send high-scoring leads to your CRM.
- Initiate different email sequences based on personality type.
- Automatically add quiz participants to specific email lists.
- Direct customer service quizzes to the appropriate department.
No need for manual data transfer; your quizzes automatically update the systems you already use.
Set Time Limits for Timed Quizzes and Tests
Some quizzes require a timer. The Quiz Addon features integrated time limits that are compatible with all quiz formats.
Specify the time limit in minutes and seconds, then decide what occurs when the time expires:
- Auto-submit: Automatically submits the quiz as it is when the timer runs out.
- Lock remaining questions: Disables answers for any unanswered questions while keeping the quiz accessible.
- End completely: Immediately terminates the quiz.
You can also personalize the message that quiz participants see when the time is up.
Timed quizzes are perfect for:
- Certification tests: Ensure that candidates complete evaluations within specified time limits.
- Classroom quizzes: Simulate exam conditions for students taking tests online.
- Skill challenges: Introduce pressure in trivia competitions or competitive evaluations.
- Screening assessments: Evaluate how quickly candidates can solve problems.
No need for third-party timer plugins. Simply set the limit and let WPForms manage everything.
