<div class="fr-view"><p>Our <a href="https://thehootstudents.com/category/quizzes/">quiz section</a> already has a bunch of quizzes and puzzles for you to try out, but if you fancy yourself a resident Quiz Master, you might want to know how to create your own quizzes or puzzles. Fortunately, it&#8217;s very simple to do!</p>
<p>There are two types of quizzes that you can create:</p>
<ul>
<li>Personality quiz</li>
<li>Trivia quiz</li>
</ul>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at both, shall we?</p>

 <p><img src="https://thehootstudents.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Personality.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib wp-image-2798" data-id="2798"></p><p>A personality quiz is a series of questions that intends to reveal something about the personality. You'll often see a lot of these around, especially the ones that ask 'What type of [blank] are you?' You can find a small example of a personality quiz done by Beth Metcalf over on the quiz section, or by clicking <a href="https://thehootstudents.com/may-which-volunteer-role-would-best-suit-you-this-month/">here</a>. ;</p><p><br></p> </div>

 <h2 class="zf_title">Trivia Quiz</h2>
 <div class="zf_description">
 <p><img src="https://thehootstudents.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Trivia.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib wp-image-2799" data-id="2799"></p><p>A trivia quiz is designed to test your knowledge and get your brains thinking. Different to a personality quiz (which is about finding out something about you), a trivia quiz is all about trying to get as many questions correct as you can. You can find a great example of a trivia quiz done by Cath Brown <a href="https://thehootstudents.com/do-you-know-what-the-letters-in-the-module-codes-mean/">here</a>.</p><hr><p><br></p> </div>

With that said, let's look at how to add results to a personality quiz. If you're making a trivia quiz, skip to Step 6.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px;font-family: Cabin, sans-serif;font-size: 17px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none">Fortunately, using our post creator it's very simple to do. First, you'll want to write a mini title (for example, in a personality quiz asking what type of OU volunteer you should be, a result could be 'You best fit...a Meet-Up Host!') ;</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px;font-family: Cabin, sans-serif;font-size: 17px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none">The explanation box is the place to explain what the result means and why. In the example we used before, we would use this box to explain why the answers you chose fit this particular result (e.g. one of the answers to your question could be 'I like to spend my free time with friends', indicating that person is sociable, and therefore a perfect fit for a Meet-Up Host!)</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px;font-family: Cabin, sans-serif;font-size: 17px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none">After adding an explanation, simply attach an image to accompany the result and you're done! Remember, you can find thousands of free, copyright friendly, images on websites such as <a href="https://pixabay.com/" style="text-decoration: none;cursor: pointer">Pixabay</a> and <a href="https://www.pexels.com/" style="text-decoration: none;cursor: pointer">Pexels</a>.

					<p>On the surface, adding results to a trivia quiz is very similar to how you do it for a personality quiz. You still have to add a 'title' for the result (such as 'Quiz King/Queen' for someone who gets every question right), an explanation of the result, and an accompanying image. Furthermore, you also still have to click 'Add Result' to create more results. The main difference between the two, however, is that trivia quizzes ask you to add a 'Result Range'. This is simply how many questions someone has to get right to earn each result - e.g. to earn the 'Quiz King/Queen' result, someone has to get all ten questions right. Therefore you would type in a range of 10-10. ;</p><p><br></p>			</li>
