Uh...

1,827 students took this test.

Split among 2 year, 4 year, private, and public universities.
What state? What colleges? Was this already small number split evenly among majors?

Are you going to tell me that this test was given to a good sample of the entire United States of America?

Anyway, do with this as you will.

I wouldn’t put too much behind it though. College students don’t have time to waste filling out an upgraded survey. And it wouldn’t be all that surprising if people bullshited it.

In fact… if I recall, the only time I did any surveys on my campus, was in psychology lab.
And that was because we were forced to do 5 for a grade.
I remember distantly rushing through all of them.
