I'd like to see support for "assessment" style questions. Here's an example:

Q: I use Drupal _________.

a) Every day
b) Every month
c) Every year
d) Never

And the answers are weighted. I.e. (a) is worth 5 points, (b) 3 points, (c) 1 point and (d) zero points.

At the end of the quiz all the weighted scores are tallied to determine the result.

Yeah, an excellent idea!

I'm actually thinking a more powerful approach rather than a separate 'weighted' question type might be to add response weighting to *all* questions by default. In a normal question, the weighting for four responses, of which only one was correct, might be 0, 1, 0, 0, but this could be changed to 0, 5, 10, 15 in the event you wanted to rate people in a certain category. Hmmm...

I'll talk it over with my mentor and see what he thinks. Thanks for the suggestion!

webchick, would you please clarify the situation regarding this issue. It's really great and a needed feature. Can we expect it soon or do you need funding to finish it? ;)

I've just been asked about this feature on a site where I've been using your module. Is it likely to appear in version 5.x-2?

Not right now, but were a third party to figure this out, and hammer out a working patch, I'd love to include this.

In 6.x-4.x it is possible to weight the alternatives in the choice module.
