Possible partial explanation: the paper uses WEIRD as a description of societies; if you were thinking of individuals then "Western" and "Industrialized" would be odd words to use, "White" and "Intelligent" less so. Possible diagnostic question: what meaning of "Democratic" was foremost in your mind? (I initially read it as a US-centric description of political stance.)
I had in mind an image of a preppy-looking US student doing a psychology test, so yes, I was imagining individuals rather than societies. I read Democratic as a description of the society but the reading of it as an individual political leaning did cross my mind.
