Before creating your first quiz, it’s important to understand what size recommendation quizzes are and how they work to help your customers find their perfect fit.

What is a Size Recommendation Quiz?

A size recommendation quiz is an interactive tool that collects customer body measurements and recommends the most suitable product size based on your size charts. Instead of customers guessing their size or using generic size guides, they provide their actual measurements and receive personalized recommendations.

How Size Recommendation Works

1. Customer Measurement Collection

When a customer starts a quiz, they’re asked to provide body measurements such as:

  • Chest/Bust circumference - For upper body garments
  • Waist circumference - For fitted garments at the waistline
  • Hip circumference - For lower body garments

2. Measurement Matching Algorithm

SmartSize AI Fit Recommender compares the customer’s measurements against your size table:

  • Each size in your table has minimum and maximum measurement ranges
  • The algorithm finds sizes where the customer’s measurements fall within these ranges
  • Multiple measurements are considered together for the best match

3. Size Recommendation

Based on the matching process, customers receive:

  • Primary recommendation - The best fitting size
  • Alternative options - Other sizes that might work
  • Confidence level - How well the measurements match

Quiz Components

Every size recommendation quiz consists of several key components:
