Advanced Scoring systems Result groups are useful when you want to run an opinion based quiz. It is sometimes useful to be able to classify people according to a group of answers, rather than to treat each question individually. Such quizzes are often seen in teenage magazines where the reader chooses which action they are most likely to take in a given situation. Most practical uses include quizzes to determine which personality a person may possess, and subjects that best suit them.
