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.
By assigning a score to each of their answer and by filing this score into a set of result groups a player can be
judged into which group most suits them.
