\"how-to-create-a-scored-survey\"<\/p>\n

A scored survey<\/a> is a poll in which you assign specific points to each response given by respondents. A value is assigned to each response and different messages are set for the range of scores. Scored surveys are similar to personality quizzes in nature and are helpful when you want to assess a person\u2019s knowledge in a particular field, overall satisfaction, etc.<\/p>\n

You can use offline or free online best survey maker tools<\/a> including web-based programs to create scored surveys. As survey respondents<\/a> answer each question, their score responses are marked and tallied to provide an overall score at the end of the survey. Based on their responses you can then show them a message like the one shown below:<\/p>\n
