Multiselect for Multiple Choice Questions
It would be nice to be able to allow a user to multi-select in response to a multiple choice question and then have the percentage results scale correctly. By this, I mean that if there is a question with possible responses A, B, and C and if a single user responds to the poll by selecting A and C, then A and C would have 100%, not 50 %, as with the current feature that allows a single user to supply more than one response. With a multi-select question, the percentages for all the responses do not necessarily sum to 100%. The percentages tell the fraction of subjects who selected each option.

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve heard this a couple times, but unfortunately it’s actually a pretty significant effort for us to change how we calculate the live percentages on the charts. Everything we do is based around counting the individual results and not the results from a specific participant. It also adds a good bit of complexity for us to perform live, which could slow down the rendering of the chart.
For now, we plan to stick with our current method of tallying results.

At least then do not allow the admin to select multiple options when creating the questions. As an admin, I was able to "tick mark" multiple options assuming it will allow the participants to choose multiple options.

I have also come across situations when I need this feature, but I understand the barriers to development described by Brian above. Even if the feature were to be developed, I would end up using it infrequently. It would be a nice addition, but lack thereof is not a deal-breaker for me.

Nice! My sister is a teacher and she can discuss this at school. I am glad she went for teaching because I get a lot of help from her and I share such posts with her in return. Recently, I found ample of MBE Practice Questions on https://testmaxprep.com/bar-exam/mbe-question-bank and shared it with her right away.
