Bar chart
Select all that apply vs yes or no: Pew results
Two items from a Pew Research Center experiment that asked the same questions as a select-all checklist or as one yes or no question per item. The yes or no version gave higher shares: 19% vs 13% for being denied health insurance and 63% vs 51% for losing a job. Use it to show why select-all lists under-count when you need the share for each item.
