In this guide, we'll learn how to set up a grounded growth assessment using Fillout. The process involves crafting questions with multiple options and setting up a scoring system to evaluate responses. We'll explore how to duplicate questions and adjust settings to differentiate between options that resonate most and least with respondents. Additionally, we'll discuss how to use a Google Doc to organize and randomize statements for each question. By the end, you'll understand how to compile results to highlight strengths and growth opportunities for participants.

Let's get started

This is the grounded growth assessment in Fillout's edit mode. We'll examine how I crafted the first question to understand its setup, then apply it to the next ones. The first question, like any other, will have 10 options in multiple choice format which we copy and paste from the Google doc.

You'll see a few questions created in Fillout but review them according to the Google doc. The doc is the source of truth for the multiple choice answers layout.

Each question will appear as 2 questions and 2 pages in Fillout.
A = What resonates with them the most
B = What resonates with them the least

Step #2: Click on page "1_A" to see an example setup — Click on page "1_A" to see an example setup

Step #3: To work on a question, click on it — To work on a question, click on it

At the bottom of a multiple choice question, there will be a Bulk add option. Use it to paste the statements from the Google Doc easily and quickly.

Step #4: In A versions of the question, write "Select the statement you resonate with the most" — In A versions of the question, write "Select the statement you resonate with the most"

First, I copy the same question: A and then B from the Google Doc (will be shown later, we're first reviewing Fillout). Next, I edit the statement to match if it resonates with them the least.

We have a total of 10 questions. Each question consists of two parts, resulting in two pages in the survey per question.

Step #5: Click on "1_B" to see the 'least' version — Click on "1_B" to see the 'least' version

Step #6: In B versions of the question, write "Select the statement you resonate with the least" — In B versions of the question, write "Select the statement you resonate with the least"

We do this for each question.

After question 1_B, make sure that the 'Take your time.... Pro tip:' is taken out. So the intro text above the multiple choice question only says 'Give each question 1 min max'

Step #7: To duplicate a page, go to the 3-dot menu. Note that this is useful when doing Versions A and B of the same question but not for different questions. — To **duplicate** a page, go to the **3-dot menu**. Note that this is useful when doing Versions A and B of the same question but not for different questions.

Step #8: The 3-dot menu also is how you can rename the question. — The 3-dot menu also is how you can **rename** the question.

Step #9: Click on "IF 1_A" — Click on "IF 1_A"

Scoring question answers

Each multiple choice question is a quiz/scored question.

Scoring
- Version A = each statement gets a score of 5
- Version B = each statement gets a score of 1

Step #11: To get to quiz scoring, click on the question — To get to quiz scoring, click on the question

Step #12: A menu will appear where you click the first icon for setting the quiz answer key — A menu will appear where you click the **first icon** for **setting the quiz answer key**

Step #13: Version A = the most statement, so each one gets 5 points — Version A = the *most* statement, so each one gets 5 points

Step #14: Version B = the least statement, so each one gets 1 point (see below) — Version B = the *least* statement, so each one gets 1 point (see below)

Step #15: Make sure to click Done after inputting the scores each time so it's saved. — Make sure to click **Done** after inputting the scores each time so it's saved.

When creating a new question, e.g. question no. 4, then use the the + Add page function. After you have 4_A, duplicate to create 4_B.

The Google Doc

For your information and our record-keeping on the backend, each multiple choice answer has a related theme, eg Connections, Storytelling, etc.

Each question has the themes in a randomized order.

Step #17: Copy the answers from here for each version A and B for each question on Fillout, as covered above in the Fillout instructions, using the Bulk Add and then removing the theme names. — Copy the answers from here for each version A and B for each question on Fillout, as covered above in the Fillout instructions, using the **Bulk Add** and then removing the theme names.

Step #18: Or you can just copy and paste the exact statement per multiple choice question — Or you can just copy and paste the exact statement per multiple choice question

Use the method that's most efficient for you.

At the end, we need to provide the quiz scoring using text-based answers. Based on their answers, participants will see a compilation that highlights their scoring on each theme. The respondent will see 3 things:

Theme they scored the highest
Theme they scored the lowest
2nd lowest theme

Step #19: For each theme, you'll see the 3 different version of answers:When they scored the highest, lowest, or second lowest. — For each theme, you'll see the 3 different version of answers:
When they scored the highest, lowest, or second lowest.

Don't:
- Keep the quotation marks
- Copy the parentheses of 'highest score' or 'second lowest score'

Step #20: For instance, for lowest score, we copy 'Growth opportunity' for the title — For instance, for lowest score, we copy 'Growth opportunity' for the title

Step #21: Then we copy this but either without the quotation marks or remove them when in Fillout — Then we copy this but either without the quotation marks or remove them when in Fillout

Step #22: Make sure to include the Next Steps bit when applicable (it's for either highest/lowest score of the theme) — Make sure to include the Next Steps bit when applicable (it's for either highest/lowest score of the theme)

Step #23: This means that each person will see 3 different themes in their end screen: the highest, lowest, and second lowest. — This means that each person will see 3 different themes in their end screen: the highest, lowest, and second lowest.

Super important: Test this out first by only doing 4-5 questions and then inputting the answer bank. Check as a responder and see if the results make sense for how you set up the calculations or if something needs to be revisited before doing all 10 questions.
