Once you have created your result types, you need to configure each answer option to vote for one or more of them. This is what powers the type-based recommendation — as a customer selects answers, votes accumulate for the relevant types until the quiz ends and a winner is determined.

​
Where to Find the Type Vote Setting

  1. From the Quizify dashboard, click the edit quiz icon next to your quiz to open the quiz editor
  2. Click Recommendation in the left menu and navigate to the question you want to configure
  3. Check for an answers section
  4. Look for the Type section within the answer settings
  5. You will see the list of result types you created — select which ones this answer votes for

If you do not see a type vote option in the answer settings, confirm that your quiz is set to type-based recommendation mode in the Recommendation settings of your quiz editor.

​
Selecting Which Types an Answer Votes For

For each answer:
  1. Open the answer settings
  2. In the type vote section, select the result type (or types) this answer votes for
  3. Save the answer
  4. Repeat for every answer option in every question

​
How Multiple Type Votes from One Answer Work

An answer can be configured to vote for more than one type. When the customer selects that answer, each of the specified types receives one vote. Example: An answer of “Combination skin” might vote for both the “Oily” type and the “Dry” type, since combination skin has characteristics of both. Using multi-type votes allows you to represent nuanced answers more accurately — but be careful not to spread votes too thinly across too many types, as this can reduce the differentiation between outcomes.

​
How Votes Accumulate Across All Questions

Every time a customer selects an answer, the votes for that answer’s associated types are added to the running tally. This continues across every question in the quiz. Example: Final tally: Oily = 3, Dry = 1 → Oily wins

​
What Happens with Answers Not Linked to Any Type

If an answer option is not configured to vote for any type, selecting it contributes nothing to the tally. It is effectively neutral. This can be intentional — for example, an introductory or transitional question where the answer is informational rather than evaluative. However, if most answers have no type votes, the quiz will struggle to produce meaningful, differentiated outcomes.

Aim to have meaningful type votes on the majority of your answers. If a question is purely informational or is used for lead capture, it is fine for its answers to have no type votes — but make sure your other questions have enough votes to produce clear winners.
