Tips to help you make the most of your Brilliant Assessments trial

For writers, the blank page feels daunting, but for assessment builders, it’s the first question.

Your trial period is the perfect opportunity to explore the full potential of Brilliant Assessments. Here are some tips to help you make the most of it and determine whether it’s the best platform for you.

Build your Welcome Section

The welcome section sets the scene for your assessment and allows you to gather respondent details. To make it as useful as possible, try to:

• Collect Key Information
  Decide what participant details, such as names, email addresses, or business information, you want to capture. The system automatically records this information by mapping these fields to the response settings, saving you from manual data entry.

• Use Classifiers to Segment Responses
  Incorporate classification questions to categorize responses based on industry, company size, or experience level. This helps you to deliver more meaningful comparisons and benchmarking.

Create Some Questions and Answers

Consider the best answer formats for your needs:

• Sliding Scales – Measure intensity, satisfaction, or agreement on a continuum.

• Column Formats – Allow structured side-by-side comparisons.

• Single-Choice & Multi-Choice – Offer straightforward selection options.

• Open Text Fields – Provide room for personalized insights and detailed feedback.

Be aware of being too leading with your questions. An excellent assessment doesn’t coax respondents in a particular direction.

Check out the Assessment Settings

Make your assessment yours, by customizing settings that impact both branding and functionality. In the Assessment Settings section, you can:

• Customize Design & Branding – Ensure your assessment aligns with your organization’s style and identity.

• Set Up Automated Email Templates – Streamline communication with participants by preconfiguring welcome emails, reminders, and follow-ups.

• Add Feedback Reports – Create clear, well-organized reports that provide value to participants and stakeholders.

Try a Results Page to Test Charting

Visualizing assessment results effectively can make an assessment feel ‘real.’ Test different charting options within a Results Page during your trial to see how your data is presented using a test response.

• Explore Different Chart Types
  Try bar graphs, spider charts, and other visual formats to see what best represents your data.

• Check Response Groupings
  Make sure that responses are categorized correctly based on your assessment structure.

• Experiment with Benchmarks
  Compare individual responses against averages or industry standards for added context.
