Assessment Questions

What Are Assessment Questions?

Assessment questions are multiple-choice questions where each answer can be assigned a different point value, allowing learners to receive graded feedback based on their selection.

Unlike Polls, which measure opinions with no right or wrong answers, Assessments are used when some answers are better than others and should be scored accordingly.

Example Use Case

A poll might ask, “What’s your favorite marketing strategy?”, while an assessment might ask, “Which of these strategies is the most effective for lead generation?” with each response assigned a different score.

Scoring System

• Learners receive the point value assigned to their selected answer.

• Answers can be ranked from best to least desirable based on knowledge, effectiveness, or relevance.

Example Question:

"How many times did you check your phone in the last hour?"

• "None!" → 10 points

• "Just once" → 8 points

• "A few times" → 5 points

• "A ton of times" → 2 points

• "I’m addicted, help!" → 0 points

This scoring allows for a graded response rather than a simple right-or-wrong format.

Use Cases

• Pre-assess knowledge before a larger training or course.

• Help prospects identify knowledge gaps so you can tailor solutions.

• Screen learners before coaching or consultation calls.
