I am apparently more suited to raising my son/daughter in Australia, Sweden, or Uruguay. I already speak Spanish, so perhaps I should investigate immigration criteria for Uruguay.

I compared the USA (my home country) with South Korea on the graph and was somewhat surprised to see that Korea actually outranks the US in valuing independence more than the U.S. of A. *shrug*

I'll probably download the report and have a glance at the findings in detail.

Sweden, Germany, and Japan most similar for me. Muslim word least similar. But, even Sweden, the "best match," wasn't that similar. My order was:

Imagination
Self-Expression
Independence
Determination
Responsibility
Thrift
Unselfishness
Hard Work
Tolerance
Obedience
Faith

I get Sweden, Germany, Australia. so it's either:

1. 's telling me to go back to Oz and make some babies or
2. remain in Korea and stay childless

Looking more and more like option 1 each day! Laughing

The faith question really skews everything. By switching faith at the top to the bottom, I went from Lebanon and Algeria to Japan and Germany.
