 * Hello all,
 *  I’ve been working on a project and am looking at using WordPress as a development
   environment. It should be noted that I only know a little about coding (just 
   enough to be dangerous, really), and so have been trying to find some plugins
   that will do what I want. I’m having trouble, though, as I can find pieces of
   the functionality, but don’t have an understanding of how I can put them all 
   together. .
 * I suspect I’m just not searching using the right terminology. Here’s what I’m
   after:
 * I want the user to fill out a survey/form, and that will build a search criteria
   to subsequently display content. For example:
 * ———————
    Survey:
 * 1. Question to determine rating of skill A. Select a skill level: 1 – 2 – 3
    
   2. Question to determine rating of skill B. Select a skill level: 1 – 2 – 3 3.
   Question to determine rating of skill C. Select a skill level: 1 – 2 – 3
 * [Submit Button]
 * Submit Action:
 * If all skills are 3, display ‘You’re all trained!’
 * If one or more skills are rated lower than 3, take lowest skill rating and query
   the database for content tagged as improving that skill. Display results in a
   column.
 * If next lowest is less than 3, query database for that content and display in
   another column.
 * ———————
 * From what I see, there are form plugins that will log data, and search plugins
   that can query a database, but I’m not seeing how I can link the two. Something
   like a quiz could work, if I could find one robust enough to have more than just
   a correct answer designation, and the ability to output something like that described
   above.
 * Does anyone have any ideas? Perhaps someone could point me to an appropriate 
   plugin, or let me know what kind of terminology to search for for this functionality?
 * Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
