How to - Use a Private / Incognito Window when taking the Assessment

When taking the AQ Assessment, we have found that participants have a better experience when using a Private/InPrivate/Incognito version of a browser.

Incognito or Private browsers do not save your history or other private data so it is important to complete the assessment in one uninterrupted session.
