How the comparisons work
Sarahah compares your answers with everyone else who took the same quiz. This page covers when a comparison appears, how the score is worked out, and what the numbers do and do not tell you.
When a comparison appears
A comparison shows up once at least 50 people have answered. Global, country, age, and gender comparisons each have to reach 50 on their own. Waiting for a larger group also protects the people in it, because numbers drawn from a handful of responses can point back at individuals.
How your score is calculated
Each quiz is eight questions. Answer options are ordered, and each one is worth points based on its position, starting at zero. Your total is then measured against the highest score the quiz allows, so every quiz lands on the same scale.
Which answers count
Only completed, first-time submissions count. If the same person takes a quiz again, or a submission is rejected as spam or automated, it does not move the counts or change the published distributions.
What each percentage counts
Some questions can be skipped. The percentages under a question count only the people who answered that question, so they can rest on a smaller group than the total shown at the top of a statistics page. Skipped answers are left out of the breakdown rather than counted as a choice.
What the results do not tell you
Everyone here chose to take the quiz, and no answers are weighted to match a real population. So the results describe the people who answered, not a country, an age group, a gender, or the public.
