Profession.hs

The newspaper "Sueddeutsche" asked their readers
what professions 16 persons have,
by only showing the photographies of them and three choices.

Their statistics was:
22% readers had  0 to  5 correct answers   (category 0)
75% readers had  6 to 11 correct answers   (category 1)
 3% readers had 12 to 16 correct answers   (category 2)

Can this statistics be explained with random guessing,
or is there some information in the photographies
that the readers could utilize?

I got 6 correct answers.
