I patched profile.module to support a checkbox field with multiple options; the result is a cross between the current select and checkbox fields, allowing users to tick off options from a checkbox group. I haven't tested the "Browse other users with the same checkbox option" feature, but otherwise everything seems to work.

New features are currently being added for Drupal 7.x. 5.x is stable, and 6.x is already feature-frozen.

ouch....thought this was already possible in Drupal

tryed shaisachs's module, but setting up multiple "multiple checkboxes" fields, all the fields other that the first repeat the choices of the "multiple checkbox" fields before them.

Example:

* Multiple checkbox field A
--- option a1
--- option a2
--- option a3

* Multiple checkbox field B
--- option b1
--- option b2
--- option b3

------------------------------------------

Final result in profile form:

* Multiple checkbox field A
--- option a1
--- option a2
--- option a3

* Multiple checkbox field B
--- option a1
--- option a2
--- option a3
--- option b1
--- option b2
--- option b3
