Slovenes: among the most upbeat people in the world? (source)
According to a recent study conducted at Bradley University
in Peoria, Illinois, Slovenes have a lot of self-esteem. Researchers did
surveys in 53 countries, asking 17.000 people how much they
agreed with statements like: "I take a positive attitude toward myself"
or "I want to shoot myself in the face with a bazooka."
Slovenia
finished in 12th place overall. That’s quite surprising, and certainly doesn’t jibe with the country’s sky-high suicide rates. When it comes to killing yourself, Slovenia is in the global top ten. And yet, apparently, they’re confident about it.
I won’t spoil the surprise of what country has the most
self-esteem. (Hint: You’d never guess it in 190 guesses.) And there are
also plenty of other surprises, such as the fact that Switzerland is so
close to the bottom, or that Italy and Canada didn’t score well. I’ll
leave the rest to you.
The results are here: Who’s No. 1 in Self-Esteem?
