Question
Not as neighbour - homosexuals.
Yes or No

Bit confusing, does Yes mean you would not accept them as a neighbour or you would?

I don't care about the sexuality of my neighbour.

I thought that question was very confusing too! But I interpreted it as meaning that if you answered 'Yes' you did not want a homosexual as your neighbour, and if you answered 'No' you weren't bothered about your neighbour's sexuality.

I thought a lot of the questions were confusing- so most likely if I interpreted them differently, I may get a different result.
Does this quiz only care about European countries?   That leaves out a large portion of the world.

Obviously, this is truly, hugely important to find out  ;)

Me too ... but I still wasn't sure if I answered properly!

Silly quiz. A good bit of fun, but poorly written and terribly confusing.

It is just Europe, it's based on the European Values Survey

I thought the other way - just done it again answering No and it still came up with Denmark.
I think that's because I said I trusted government and political parties. Just done again saying I don't and it says Sweden

Looks like I'm Swedish too. I suppose that means Swedes tend to be godless, government mistrusting yet still voting liberals who like being paid well at their meaningful jobs?

Count me in!  ;D

And yet I ticked the box for yes when asked if I believed in God, but again another problem with surveys like this.  I seriously doubt my God is anything like the one they had in mind.  And so because of that I checked no when asked about the importance of God.  I figured that evened it out.
