I'm a 70 year old female and I got a 21. I was a tomboy when I was growing up and served 4 years in the Army (even qualified on an M-16).

Thought you'd get a chuckle out of this!

Kudos! I'm sure my sister, who's about five and a half years older than I am, would score rather high as well.

That question was a tribute to the great Sam Malone of "Cheers." Can't get the exact quote online, but it went something like: "I don't know what a duvet is or what it's supposed to cover!"

You're not gonna believe this, but one of the questions that didn't make the cut (ran out of room) was, "Have you slept on a floor more than once in your life?"

Late in the game. I am a 51 year old female and scored 20. Might be because I was a daddy's girl and went hunting and fishing with him as a kid. Had my husband take it and he scored over 25 (whew!). Curious how my 21 year old son would score on this.

25 or more!

To quote Arcot "Thorny" Ramathorn from "Super Troopers:"

"I AM ALL THAT IS MAN!"

One issue to bring up:

I think if a man is married and knows what a duvet cover is, he should get a pass... just sayin'

I'll give a pass to all Navy men on that one, out of respect.

I didn’t know what the hell it was until years after I’d been married.😂

I *still* don't know, to any degree of accuracy. Think it has something to do with bedding....

If it weren't for the movie "Fight Club" I might still be guessing.

I *knew* that you'd score quite high. I imagine many other NDAI-subscribing men will/would be similar. My demo skews a little older. (And wiser, and manlier.)

I have to recuse myself, since I designed the test. But I suspect I'd be in the low 20s, maybe just shy of 25. My old man, and his old man, would DEFINITELY be in the top tier. (Probably 28, 29, or 30.)

Now, the typical American 35-year-old in March 2023 ... I shudder to think what that score would be. Even double digits might be asking too much.
