The latest research by Ipsos MORI, the second largest market research organisation in the United Kingdom, places Singapore on the 8th most ignorant countries out of 40 countries in the world.

The latest Ipsos Perils of Perception survey highlights how wrong the public across 40 countries are about key global issues and features of the population in their country.

The key patterns are:

Most countries think their population is much more Muslim than it actually is – and that the Muslim population is increasing at an incredible rate.
All countries think their population is less happy than they actually say they are.
Most countries are more tolerant on homosexuality, abortion and pre-marital sex than they think they are.
And nearly all countries think wealth is more evenly distributed than it actually is.
Looking across the five questions on factual realities, there are clear patterns in which countries have a more accurate view of their countries. To capture this, they have calculated the Ipsos “Index of Ignorance”, as shown in the table below.

India receives the "honour" of being the most inaccurate in their perceptions on these issues with China and the US also high up the list. The Netherlands are the most accurate, followed by Great Britain, with South Korea in third.

What is interesting is that Singaporeans feel that people in general, feel less happier than what they have said themselves to be.

Respondents were first asked the question, "Taking all things together, would you say you are: Very happy, Rather happy, Not very happy, Not at all happy, and Don’t know."

Following that, the respondent was then asked, "When asked in a survey in [country], what percentage of people do you think said that, taking all things together, they are very happy or rather happy?"

The results show that Singapore scored a 46% difference from their own happiness and others.
