If you only participate in one, 1% is added and if you do not participate (or don't give a serious** effort) no bonus will be added.
 
**-simple submission patterns(like AAA..., or BBB...) or rapidly clicking on any response throughout the diagnostic are not considered serious efforts and no bonus will be given
