A personality discovery quiz is an excellent way to engage your audience and is a widely used lead magnet technique for attracting top-of-funnel leads.
Some examples of personality discovery quiz applications:
Discover your DISC profile.
What is your emotional profile?
Are you more rational or intuitive?
Find out how you deal with stress and challenges.
Discover which career best suits you.
What’s the ideal workout for your body and lifestyle?
Which diet matches your eating profile?
What’s your fashion style?
Which skincare routine fits you best?
Discover which solution from our portfolio matches your needs.
And so on...
In this article, we will use the example “Discover your DISC profile”.
Identifying behavioral profiles is one of the most effective ways to better understand employees, customers, or even students. The DISC model classifies people into four main profiles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.
With Yay! Forms, you can create an interactive form that evaluates responses and automatically delivers the participant’s final DISC profile. In this guide, you’ll learn two ways to configure this type of form:
Creating a scoring quiz similar to knowledge tests (Method 1).
Using variables and conditional logic to determine the highest value and automatically assign the profile at the end (Method 2).
Method 1: Creating a Scoring Quiz (with all four DISC profiles)
This method uses Yay! Forms’ scoring logic to accumulate values based on responses, identifying the predominant profile at the end. Check out how to do that below:
1) Create variables
First, go to the Variables area in Yay! Forms and create four number-type variables — one for each profile:
Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Conscientiousness
2) Set up scoring in the questions
For each multiple-choice question, open the Logic tab and add rules to add 1 point to the corresponding variable when an option is selected.
For example:
If the user selects “Take charge and make decisions” → add 1 point to Dominance.
If they select “Inspire and motivate others” → add 1 point to Influence.
If they select “Support the group and maintain harmony” → add 1 point to Steadiness.
If they select “Focus on rules and details” → add 1 point to Conscientiousness.
3) Define redirection logic on the final question
On the last question or step of the form, use the operator “Has the highest value” to compare the variables and automatically redirect the participant to a final screen with their result.
For example:
IF Dominance has the highest value → show final screen “Your profile is Dominance.”
IF Influence has the highest value → show final screen “Your profile is Influence.”
And so on for Steadiness and Conscientiousness.
This method fully automates the definition of the predominant DISC profile without requiring the participant to interpret scores.
Method 2: Using Variables and Conditional Logic to Define the Final Profile
If you prefer an even more streamlined experience, you can use a text-type variable called “Profile” to directly store the final result.
Quick steps
Create the four numeric DISC variables as in Method 1.
Also, create a text-type variable called Profile.
In the final step rules, use conditional logic:
IF Dominance has the highest value → assign “Dominance” to Profile.
IF Influence has the highest value → assign “Influence” to Profile.
And so on.
Display the Profile variable in the final text or email using the mention @Profile.
This format delivers the result directly to the participant in a clear and intuitive way.
