The Magtest module (also standing for Magazine test module, as inspired by the Leisure press personality test customs, or even Multitrack test) provides a multitrack scoring test allowing participant classification in categories. It is simple to setup and use.

The module settings allow the test to be played once or accept multiple attempts (by capability). Also answers can be weighted, so adding more or less credits to an output category.
