Point is, how did the quiz deal with them? The summary said '... ever bought clothes..."
Not "... habitually buy clothes..."
Why would you need to deal with them? As long as the test ranks people correctly, it doesn't matter what the absolute numbers of checked responses are. We can report IQ as 120, 12.0 or 1.20, as long as the rankings are right, it doesn't matter the unit...
The point is the random noise. If someone has missed a plane due to a traffic accident on their way to the airport and someone else hasn't... (OTOH with 34 items, the noise on the average shouldn't be that big.)
