Quiz Audit
Optimize quiz funnels for maximum completion and conversion.
Process
Step 1: Analyze Current Question Flow
Map the Quiz:
- •Total number of questions
- •Question types (multiple choice, slider, text)
- •Time to complete
- •Current completion rate
- •Drop-off by question
Step 2: Check First Question
First Question Rules (Jason K):
The first question is the MOST important. It must:
- •Drive curiosity (not just qualify)
- •Be easy to answer
- •Create psychological buy-in
- •NOT be "Are you male or female?" (boring, seen 1000x)
Good First Questions:
- •"Do you drink coffee?" (curiosity: what does coffee have to do with this?)
- •"Have you tried [common solution] before?" (validates their journey)
- •Something unexpected that relates to the offer
Bad First Questions:
- •Gender selection (no curiosity)
- •Age brackets (feels like a form)
- •Location (administrative feel)
Step 3: Evaluate Question Pacing
Rhythm Check: Questions should build psychological momentum.
Yes Rhythm Strategy: Design questions to get "yes" or positive responses:
- •Q1: Yes → Q2: Yes → Q3: Yes → Q4: Yes
- •NOT: Q1: Yes → Q2: No → Q3: No → Q4: ???
Question Reframing:
| Bad (Creates "No") | Good (Creates "Yes/Sometimes") |
|---|---|
| "Do you have X problem?" | "Do you sometimes experience X?" |
| "Have you failed at X?" | "Have you tried X before?" |
Length Rules:
- •Keep questions SHORT
- •If they take long to read, they won't complete
- •Mobile users especially need brevity
Step 4: Identify Dropout Points
Analyze Drop-offs:
- •Which question has highest abandonment?
- •Why might people leave there?
- •Is the question too personal? Too long? Confusing?
Common Dropout Causes:
- •Question breaks the "yes" rhythm
- •Question feels invasive
- •Question is confusing
- •Progress feels slow
- •Fatigue from length
Step 5: Output Optimized Sequence

[ ] Replace first question 2. [ ] Fix rhythm breaks at Q[X] **Medium Impact:** 1. [ ] Shorten questions [X, Y, Z] 2. [ ] Remove unnecessary Q[X] **Test Later:** 1. [ ] Alternative flows
Quiz Psychology (Jason K)
Why Quizzes Work:
- •Low bounce rates (engagement)
- •Builds investment through micro-commitments
- •Feels personalized
- •Lower perceived friction than forms
Quiz as Advertorial: Use quiz to hit same points as advertorial:
- •Pain point acknowledgment
- •Why prior solutions failed (not your fault)
- •Unique mechanism tease
- •Scarcity/urgency
- •CTA
Never Capture Email Mid-Quiz:
- •Let them complete for the "result"
- •Capture AFTER they're invested
- •Higher quality leads
