Re. skipping the quiz by putting in a dummy answer: I agree the user experience is fine if people are bought into doing the whole thing. My worry is that when I try to imagine young-me, (I think) I’d feel some allergy to the fact-of-compulsory-quizzes, because of the implicit social contract of something like “these people know better; I’m here to be judged”. Which might put me off the site (either making me stop reading, or just orient to the site as “something to be exploited” rather than “my friend to help me”).
