How to Create a Scored Survey Using ProProfs Survey Maker

ProProfs allows you to add scoring to a survey to convert your survey into an assessment, evaluation or lead qualification tool. With scored surveys, you can assign values to each response option selected by the survey taker. The data collected from such a survey helps you effectively measure your respondents' satisfaction and opinions.

Benefits of a scored survey:

Create customer satisfaction surveys and follow-up with customers whose survey score represents a poor satisfaction level.
Turn your survey into an online assessment with scoring done by assigning points to each response option.
Conduct effective market research by turning survey responses into measurable statistical data.

Let us look at a classic example of a scored survey when it is used to analyze customer satisfaction:

The survey above has points assigned to its answers. The points can be evaluated in the reports section.

Survey Question: Would You Recommend Our Product To A Colleague Or A Friend?

Survey Response Options:

Yes: 5 points
No: 0 points

You can use the points they've scored and categorize your customers into Satisfied (5 points) and Unsatisfied (0 points). Similarly, you can use scored surveys for a number of training, education or marketing purposes.

Step 8: A popup window will appear containing text boxes against each answer. Assign a point (score) to each answer in their respective text boxes. Click Save once you've added the points. Congratulations, scoring is now applied to this particular question. If a user answers 'A', they'll earn 5 points, and for the answer 'B', they'll be awarded 2 points. Similarly, you can add more questions and apply scoring to them.

Apply scores to options

Alternatively, if you choose to pick one of the templates instead of creating a scored survey from scratch, the Assign Points setting is available on the Manage Survey screen itself (as shown in the screenshot below).
