The “Survey” quiz evaluation type is a type of quiz in which the participants will answer a series of questions with the purpose of providing information with regards to a certain topic.
This type of quiz is especially useful for learning more about your visitors and segmenting your existing customer base.
At the end of the quiz, the “Results Page” will not display a customized result based on each participants’ answers, as a quiz would normally do, but instead, it will display the same content for each participant.
