Yeah, these results don’t pass the smell test. As a woman, I sincerely doubt the percentages quoted for terms like pessary and doula- if you and your peers aren’t having children you’re unlikely to have heard of them. And doulas are a more recent phenomenon in the US, I doubt many women over 60 or women in lower socioeconomic classes are familiar with the term.
Same for men. I can’t believe most men know what a checksum is. This test says more about the population of people who took it than anything else.
It looked reasonable to me. Pessary was part of regular sex education for my school. I was surprised the numbers were so low, but this might be sex education in the US not discussing this.
Checksum you'll encounter as a term when you use newsgroups, torrents and often on the download page as an MD5 checksum when you download software.
I just learned about pessary last month, after my second child and two different sex ed curricula.
And what percent of American adults use newsgroups or torrents, or even download software these days? It’s surely not the majority (software downloads notwithstanding).
Same for men. I can’t believe most men know what a checksum is. This test says more about the population of people who took it than anything else.
