The number of respondents that chose the motivator as their #1 choice is shown divided by the respondents that entered a value of 1-5 for that motivator. The result is displayed as a percentage. (NOTE: the denominator represents the number of respondents who actually inputted a value of 1-5 and doesn’t represent the total number of people in that category).
