Closer to 1/4 than to 1/3, and "feel unaware of secure practices" as in if someone asks "do you know modern security practices?" they answer "no".
That's a quite bad thing to measure. IMO, the original report is not worth reading. The report of the report linked here is even less so.

As a sysadmin who has to support said developers, all I have to say is "Duh. No I won't install your app with root privileges. And clean up all the files you write to /tmp."
