In 2019, I worked with our software engineer designing and creating a new quiz for college majors. Using a weighted points system, the quiz consists of 28 questions with answers corresponding to the 130 undergraduate major options. As the user progresses in the quiz, a live CSS animation shows updated results and rankings of majors. (Not all program options are shown in the animation for space.) At the end of the quiz, the user is presented with their top five results with links to find out more about the majors.
I built the algorithm for the quiz based on existing research done by former Lamar University psychology graduate students. The questions are meant to be general enough that they may correspond to many different areas of study, but specific enough that some options are more relevant than others. For example, if the user answers yes to a very creative question, this may add 6 points to a creative field like Art, 3 points to a field like Marketing, and negative 3 points to a very technical field like Accounting.
The complete quiz is live and available for use. If you take it, I would love to hear your results!
