Summary
The author of the article says that every individual is different. It was stated that all people can be divided into extroverts and introverts, and it is also usual for people to follow the stereotype of judging others’ personalities according to their nationality or origin.
In order to learn whether the stereotypes reflect the actual cultural differences, there was a research done. The results of the survey showed that the participants are able to give a summary of their characters. However, the “actual personality profiles” did not match “the national character”. Thus, individuals should not be evaluated as the face of a nation and the stereotypes usually reflect the image that people create about themselves not what they really are like.
In conclusion, a single person cannot represent the whole nation and deciding about the face of a nation by judging a separate individual is more the matter of historical than a current image.
