I think it’s pretty obvious this is a subset of the answers.

So it seems like, given 3 picks, only 1% of kids are choosing YouTuber as an option. That doesn’t really seem ridiculous.

Edit: it’s 3000 kids total, not per country. So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included.

This poll annoyed me so much I googled it. It's just a really shitty poll. There is no reason to believe the 5 listed jobs is a subset of the answers. This is an infographic summarizing a single question from a survey that seems to be commissioned by LEGO.

Article from the "Harris Poll"

I couldn't find like, an academic paper describing the poll. There's no methodology for it I can find. It's just some corporate fluff piece, frankly.

Yep, only 3 countries. This is just a trash poll.

I just figured if 3000 people responded, they should have 9000 picks. Since we only see a few hundred it seemed like it’s a very small subset of the total answers.

Very shitty poll indeed.

Friend, the totals are percentages, not absolute counts
