Turn check-all-that-apply counts into citation percentages: the most and least cited attributes and the mean citation rate.
Try sample values — fills the form with the worked example below.
–
Most cited (%)
–
Least cited (%)
–
Mean citation (%)
Equation: Citation % = count ÷ n × 100 for each attribute; most = highest %, least = lowest %, mean = average of the percentages.
Method: ISO 6658:2017 sensory methodology; check-all-that-apply (CATA) practice per the sensory literature.
Assumptions: Each consumer could tick any number of attributes; counts cannot exceed the number of consumers.
Limitations: Citation rates describe the sample only — they do not test whether attributes differ between samples.
Rounding: Percentages to 2 decimal places; intermediates unrounded.
This is a calculation aid, not a laboratory report — confirm against your accredited method before citing a value.
