Step 1: Take any quiz and answer some questions
Step 2: Click a link
Step 3: Go back to the quiz again and you get the exact same questions
With this method it's very easy to get on the highscore. Because of this I don't think there's any point of the IMDb Quiz.
Please fix!

The IMDb quiz has now been closed so this loophole no longer exists.
The quiz was not very widely used by customers and had a large number of issues (like this one) so the best option was to close it, sorry.

At this time, the "Take The Quiz" sidebar box and quiz links are still displayed on title pages (in default view). But since the quiz system has been closed, the quiz links now lead to an error page. I assume that IMDb will soon revise the title-page sidebars to remove the quiz links.

Well... that was not exactly the solution I had in mind

Yes, the quiz links on the title pages are in the process of being removed.

The quiz was the only way to choose a random title to watch in a given list, since there is no more the "choose a random title based on above criteria" option on the advanced search. Now, in all IMDb there is no feature where I can choose a random title to watch. In my specific case, I also used the quiz to choose a movie to buy from my extensive list of classics. IMDb users should have a way to choose a random movie of their personal lists. Please, think about it. And sorry for my english.

The quiz links have been removed from the /title/ pages as of yesterday.
I am not sure how the quiz helped you generate random titles, but now you could instead visit https://www.random.org/ and generate a number between 1 and the number of titles on your list or number of titles returned in an advanced search query and watch/buy that one.
