Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

How Did Your Country Do?
In 2017, the Gapminder Test launched. It consists of 13 questions, all with an
A, B, C alternative. In 2017, Gapminder worked with Ipsos MORI and Novus
to test 12,000 people in 14 countries. Their polls were conducted with online
panels weighted to be representative of the adult populations. The test was
conducted in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany,
Hungary, Japan, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom,
and the United States. The 13 fact questions are freely available in multiple
languages at

NOTES
We have taken enormous care to check and double-check our sources and the ways we have used them:
in a book about Factfulness, we do not want to make a single fact mistake. But we are human beings;
however hard we strive, we still make mistakes.
If you spot a mistake, please share your knowledge and enable us to improve this book. Contact us at
[e-mail]
. And find all the mistakes that have already been spotted at:
