    Hey @lhenry17 - Is this the form you're currently working on?

    I can see you're currently using the Orderable List widget. Unfortunately, based on how you phrased your question, I don't think this widget will work. Yes, it allows your users to re-arrange the items in the list, but you're specifically only asking 3 answers from your respondents and let them rank each with 1 being the greatest strength/asset.

    With that in mind, my assumption is that you wanted to let your respondents pick 3 strengths, then have them assign a rank for each. Will this be a good solution for your needs?

    The form above utilizes the Multiple Text Fields widget. The idea is to list all the strengths and allow your users to fill out a textbox right beside it where they can place their own rank (from 1 to 3).

    For example, if I'm a respondent, and I chose Activities for youth (1), Schools & academic institutions (2), Health care (3), then my response would look something like this:
