Why are you collecting email addresses to deliver the results of a self-reported test that would drive shopfront purchases? Just allow users to take the test online, deliver the results, steer them towards the products. You'll get their email if they order, no?

Thanks for the feedback! We've removed the email address requirement.
Thats great! I tried filling in the quiz and submitting and encountered a Captcha that was partially formatted on screen so I couldn't see all the images, nor the submit button. No way to move forward at all.

I hope you get your site in order, it sounds like a promising market.

You removed the requirement but the field is still there and nothing says the field is optional. I read your reply as "we removed the field".

FWIW I think it's reasonable to collect emails. But at least be honest as to whether the email field required (or not) on the form.

It has been updated to make it clear the field is optional.
I took the quiz but wouldn't put in my email address for the results.

I WFH, I haven't worn a collared shirt in over a decade. Who knows their necksize?
