HOW ARE THE RESULTS CALCULATED?
The wisdom test consists of two types of questions:
1) those with only one correct answer;
2) those that offer a range of possibilities.
In both cases, a specific score is assigned depending on the answer given; if it is correct, the highest score is given, while if it is incorrect but close to being correct, a lower score is given. On the other hand, if the answer is completely incorrect, the score will be zero.
In those questions that require a subjective answer and therefore are neither right nor wrong, the score will vary according to the level of maturity and awareness shown by the user. A frivolous answer will be worth zero points, while one that is not fully mature but neither is silly will have an intermediate value. The wisest answer will bring the maximum score.
Finally, there is a small bonus related to the age of the user, which is awarded only to the younger ones with the purpose of balancing their final score with respect to the obvious advantage of the older ones.
