##  Multiple-Select Questions: Assigning Scores to Answers
When using multiple-select (checkbox) questions in surveys, you can configure a calculated field to assign scores to each selected option, which allows for a more nuanced understanding of responses. This approach facilitates the aggregation of data, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and correlations within the responses.
The question in this example is a multiple-select (checkbox) question with six answer options. The objective here is to assign a score to each selected answer option and then calculate the total score.
Question: Which potential technological risks is the organization prepared to handle? Select all that apply.
Answer options and scores:
  * Cybersecurity breaches: 3
  * Data privacy issues: 5
  * Technology failure: 7
  * Integration risks: 3
  * Technology obsolescence: 5
  * AI and automation risks: 3


Here's how you can set up a calculated field for this scenario:

```
// Map each answer option to its corresponding score
const answerScore = {
    'Cybersecurity breaches': 3,
    'Data privacy issues': 5,
    'Technology failure': 7,
    'Integration risks': 3,
    'Technology obsolescence': 5,
    'AI and automation risks': 3
};

// Initialize a variable to hold the total score
let totalScore = 0;
// Get the answer to the first question
const answer = answers[0];
// Check if multiple options were selected (the answer would be an array)
if (Array.isArray(answer)) {
    // If multiple options were selected, go through each one
    // Add the score corresponding to each selected option to the total score
    totalScore = answer.reduce((score, ans) => score + (answerScore[ans] || 0), 0);
}
// Return the overall sum of scores in the calculated field
return totalScore;

```

In this code, answers[0] refers to the answer to the first question in the survey. The Array.isArray(answer) check is used to ensure that the answer is an array. If multiple options are selected for this question, the code loops through each selected option and adds the corresponding score to totalScore.
The return totalScore; statement at the end ensures that the calculated field will hold the total score based on the selected options. This provides a quick and effective way to quantify an organization's preparedness to handle various technological risks directly within your survey.
