"Size" is dubious, "shape" is outright wrong. All of the dummies have the exact same shape: the adult male dummy re-scaled to various sizes. Meaning they are testing the weight distribution, muscle strength, and body shape of men, just at different scales.
And the scale is totally unrealistic: the "woman" dummy is 4'11" and 100 pounds, smaller than 95% of women in the world, and it is never tested in the driver seat.
