is this map accurate

>>23173711 (OP)
it's an interesting idea for a map
i couldn't say for sure, but it looks vaguely accurate

>>23173712
unfortunately all europeans are sleeping right now
also what i mean as latin america is mostly southeast and south brazil, argentina, chile and uruguay, i don't know much about countries such as mexico and colombia but i dont think they are that different in values to be honest

i don't get it

the closest non Europeans for here are turks, so it should be asia.

im only comparing them with east asia and latin america
the poles seem to be more open and extroverted when compared with other northern europeans

>>23173711 (OP)
what a clever insight
per-country accuracy aside, you're definitely onto something—were you considering the antecedent and consequent cultural dynamics of the Reformation when you made it?
there definitely seems to be a degree of overlap

>>23173896
in most cases yes, there are still some catholic countries like austria that i feel are probably closer to east asian countries
but most european catholic countries really have more in common with latin america, it’s amazing to see that all catholic countries share culture in one way or another
it’s also interesting to note that there are several east asian and european countries with extremely high rates of atheism, both tend to be more closed off, reserved, and punctual

France is kinda quirky

>>23175000
I guess it's similar to italy in the sense that north france is more germanic and south is more latin (latin as latin europe, so spain, italy, portugal, etc)

>>23173711 (OP)
I don't think it is very accurate.

>>23173851
East

>>23176205
what mistakes you noticed?

>>23176530
None of those places cultures are particularly similar to east asia

>>23176556
this is generalising, but..
look at Britain's manners and extreme indirectness, or Germany's fastidiousness when it comes to adhering to rules without question—not dissimilar from Japan and other East Asian countries
there's a certain degree of formality, coldness, and distance in the red countries, balanced with an open-mindedness which we don't see quite as much in the blue countries
and the blue countries are much warmer interpersonally, but perhaps more rigidly adherent to traditions and dogma
think about how those differences might seem similar to East Asia and South America respectively from OP's perspective, rather than your perspective

the red countries just so happen to mostly align with countries which adopted Protestantism during the reformation, and mainly have languages descendant from Proto-Germanic
the blue countries lean more Orthodox and Catholic, with languages primarily rooted in Latin (the language of the Catholic church)
think about how culture and language symbiotically influence each other

what's more, the map correlates somewhat with biological differences, alongside the cultural and linguistic
why might OP see people of the Mediterranean European racial subtype as more similar to him, along a variety of axes, compared to the more alien Germanic subtype, and why might that more alien subtype seem more like the reserved and distant East Asians?

we don't wear our heart on our sleeves, and we might value politeness and harmony over directness

Yeah I get what you are saying and you have a point but that's just the social norms not the underlying culture.
If you are going purely off of how interpersonal relationships function and social etiquette then the map is accurate
