                                      Giving Entire Cultures a Personality Test

                                                           Summary  

A large group of researchers were looking for the answer to the question Do stereotypes reflect  cross-cultural differences in the personalities? They use the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R),  a personality test. The national character was measured by a short questionnaire on which respondents could indicate the characteristics of a typical member of their culture.

According to the researchers, national character is an indicator of how people within a    culture see themselves rather than of how they actually are. First of all, they sort out  if respondents are able to produce consistent summaries of their national character. Secondly,  researchers  find out , the profiles  of national character  are not  up to standard  for a particular person individually.

In conclusion, researchers explain  that national character is not a generalization about the actual personality characteristics. Person’s character depends on personality characteristics.
