The Nordics are among the world’s 10 smartest countries – most likely to ‘produce the next Google’ Sweden, Finland and Denmark are very well-positioned to foster the big ideas of tomorrow. This according to the Intelligence Capital Index (ICI), compiled by Distinguished Fellow at INSEAD, Kai L.
Overall, the people of Scandinavia are certainly not the most hard-working in the world, but the amount of work does not seem to correlate directly with the national standard of living.
Are Scandinavians emotionless?
Generally Swedes are trained to be emotionally inexpressive. What they mean is clearly in their words, and not so much their bodies or faces. And this can lead more physically expressive cultures to presume they are cold.
Citizens’ longevity is due in part to Sweden’s commitment to environmental cleanliness. The water quality is satisfactory; 96 percent of those included in a poll approved of their country’s drinking water. A lack of pollutants may also contribute to Sweden’s higher-than-average life expectancy.
Why are Swedes happy?
Sweden is one of the most sustainable countries in the world, again 99\% of their waste is gone to recycling/is recycled and 40\% of swedes buy eco labeled items. That sort of reputation grants swedes happiness and they are contributing a lot of green acts to the world, another reason for happiness.
Why are Scandinavians so quiet?
Some claim it is because of the harsh climate and the geography of Scandinavia. Add in the relatively small population (compared with the area of the Nordic countries) and you get the recipe for silence. People are used to silence, because of their nature and climate. Population density is among the lowest in Europe.
Do Norwegians like small talk?
Norwegians don’t do small talk It’s not that they want to be rude or that they dislike you, they just don’t have a frame to communicate with you. And even when you do become friends with a Norwegian, you are more likely to play a game with a friend than discussing the news.
The Scandi diet is big on reducing starchy carbs and replacing those calories with heaping servings of healthy proteins, such as locally-sourced, cold-water fish, and organic vegetables. Just as importantly, Scandinavians believe it’s not just what you eat that counts, it’s how you prepare it that matters too.
