The most ignorant countries in the world, mapped | indy1

A new study has found that a large number of people in some of the worlds most developed nations are ignorant of a lot of important topics.

The Perils of Perception 2017 study by Ipsos MORI assessed the perception of 29,133 people around the world on topics concerning their nation and others.

The subjects included murder and suicide rates, deaths at the result of terrorism, teenage pregnancy, foreign-born prisoners and health issues such as vaccinations and diabetes.

Other issues covered in the interviews included religion, consumption of sugar and alcohol and the percentage of people using Facebook and smartphones.

Results showed that people in nearly all of the 38 nations which took part in the study were ignorant of the aforementioned topics but some were worse than others.

The compiled data showed that Scandinavians had the best idea of what was happening at home and abroad as Denmark, Norway and Sweden were all found to be the most accurate, with the Swedes coming out on top.

At the other end of the spectrum, the bottom three in descending order were The Philippines, Brazil and South Africa.

Surveyed 29k people around the world.... Seems like too small of a percentage.

Om the other hand, you can blame the media and fake news.

Paid survey iyan to promote the EU countries.

Impossible! We have at least 16M who are smart, or at least manipulated by smart guys. On the confidence score, no contest. Look at how PAO lawyers turned pathologists overnight and a highly paid blogger who can move mountains and revised our constitution. That is self confidence to the highest degree! [emoji23]🤣[emoji28]

haha that's the worst combination: being an idiot while being confident that you're not. yan ang walang hope for improvement

to put things in perspective, those scandinavian death metal bands know that they're just goofing off, while pinoys would perceive them as doing devil worship. pinoy mentality still stuck in the middle ages w/ silly ideas of demons, angels and gods

Confidence can be why Filipinos thrive anywhere in the world (just like the Indians who top the list)

Confidence can also be why you can think you're right even if you're wrong. Or at least keep up the appearance of confidence

I just remembered a convo last night going "pag nahuli ka bro, wag kang aamin!"- the confidence of some of my friends

Stay hungry. Stay humble.

Dunning-Kruger Effect. [emoji16]

Coined in 1999 by then-Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the eponymous Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias whereby people who are incompetent at something are unable to recognize their own incompetence. And not only do they fail to recognize their incompetence, they’re also likely to feel confident that they actually are competent.

Eto mas maganda explanation.

In simple words it's "people who are too stupid to know how stupid they are".
