Display assessment results by option count (taking DISC assessment as an example)
SurveyMars assessment surveys support "Show Results by Option Count". The system counts how many times options under each dimension are selected, compares those counts across dimensions, and generates the final assessment result and report. (Requires more than 10 multiple-choice questions. DISC assessment is a typical example.)

Create an Assessment
1. Add questions
Create an assessment survey and add multiple-choice questions. You need more than 10 multiple-choice questions, or you cannot turn on "Show Results by Option Count".
2. Add option dimensions
Go to "Design Questionnaire", then click "Assessment Report Settings". Turn on "Show Results by Option Count" (this cannot be used at the same time as "Show Results by Total Score").
Click "Add option dimension" and enter one dimension name per line.
3. Bind option dimensions
Click "Bind Options". All options are listed by question. Use the dropdown on the right to bind each option to an option dimension.
4. Add assessment comments
Assessment comments: Add detailed comments for each assessment result.
Assessment user: Pulled from name-type questions in the survey.
Score analysis: Lists scores for each option dimension—that is, how many times options under each option dimension were selected. It also shows bar charts, column charts, and line charts for option dimension scores.
5. Demo
Open the sample survey to see the response and assessment report experience: DISC assessment sample.
Display rules: You can set how many dimension results to show. If you choose multiple, the top-scoring dimensions are shown. By default, a single option dimension result is displayed.
"Max count difference between adjacent option dimensions": For example, when two assessment results are allowed: if the difference between the highest and second-highest dimension scores is greater than the set value, only the top dimension result is shown; otherwise, both the top and second results are shown. The same rule applies to other combined results.
When a result combines two option dimensions, the comments for those two dimensions are shown in order by default. You can also create a separate result for that combination. For example, if a respondent scores high on both D and C, create a "DC" option dimension and write a dedicated DC assessment result.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Show Results by Option Count and Show Results by Total Score?
A: Show Results by Total Score adds up question scores and then assigns a result. Show Results by Option Count counts how many times options under each option dimension are selected, then compares those counts to decide which option dimension result to show. You cannot enable both at the same time.
Q: Why can't I turn on "Show Results by Option Count"?
A: Make sure this is an assessment survey and that it has more than 10 multiple-choice questions. If there are fewer, you cannot enable this feature.
Q: If two option dimensions have the same selection count, which one is shown?
A: With "Show single option dimension result", only the higher-ranked option dimension result is shown. To show multiple close types at once, switch to "Show multiple option dimension results", then set "Number of option dimension results to display" and "Max count difference between adjacent option dimensions".
Q: I set the display count to 2 option dimensions. Why does the report show only 1?
A: If the count difference between adjacent option dimensions exceeds "Max count difference between adjacent option dimensions", only the higher-count option dimension result is shown. For example, if you set 2 results to display but the difference between 1st and 2nd exceeds the set value, only the 1st is shown. To show both, increase that max difference.
Q: Does "11 options bound" on the left mean a score?
A: No. It shows how many question options are bound to that option dimension, not the respondent's score. The report compares how many times those options were actually selected.
