The problem is that I also got 11% just saying yes to everything. It would seem surprising to me to have the same percentage of maximalists as there is for people who are in the majority on every question

I also got 11% with a mix of yeses and nos. I'm guessing something broke. Hopefully the data is being logged correctly at least.

I answered "is a vehicle" to 15 out of 27 questions and also got 11%, so this is either a crazy coincidence or the number's effectively hard coded.

Suspiciously, I also got 11% (no to everything except police, ambulance, and car)

I got 23% but I included defunct tank memorial.

I got 11% as well, with no to everything (including the emergency vehicles) and yes to the Honda civic

Same.

I got 11% but only with the car

11% here too…

I also had 11%, but included the tank memorial.

Exact same for me. Well played!

I got 11% as well.

I came to the comments to find out what's going on with the 11%. I was worried that if I agreed with the majority just 11% of the time I must have reversed the buttons or something. But my choices mostly agree with the graph, so I don't think I made an error. I guess everyone gets 11%?

I got 12%, and after also not knowing what it means, and seeing no units whatsoever on the y-axis of the chart, have to leave feeling the author completely and utterly missed their opportunity to convince me of whatever argument they were making. You lose me completely at inability to convey meaningful data from the experiment.

I said yes to about half and also got 11%

I also got 11% answered no to everything but car and horse...

Not sure given the other responses if this number is acurate?

I got 11% voting yes on only the Honda Civic and the police. (I accidentally clicked no on the ambulance)

I answered yes to one and also got 11%

I answered no to every single scenario as a test, and I also got 11%.

also 11%
