These are the findings from our 14 
country study looking at how accurate – 
or inaccurate – people are when asked 
to estimate basic facts about their 
population or social issues. 
It shows how wrong we often are: 
Perceptions are not reality…

IN 
BRITAIN 
The British public are often very 
wrong about the basic make-up of 
their population and the scale of key 
social issues such as unemployment 
and behaviours like voting. 
Actual Average guess
IMMIGRATION 
Respondents who thought immigration was 
more than double the actual figure said the 
main reason they over-estimated is because 
they believe illegal immigrants enter the 
country without being counted.

• This study is based on a survey run on 
Ipsos Global @dvisor, between 12-26 
August 2014 
• Global @dvisor is conducted monthly in 
24 countries around the world via the 
Ipsos Online Panel. 
• For this study, 14 countries with high 
internet penetration were included: 
Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Great 
Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, 
Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and 
the US. 
• The research is based on an international 
sample of 11,527 adults aged 18-64 in 
the US and Canada, and aged 16-64 in 
all other countries. Sample size is 
approximately 1,000 per country, with the 
exception of Belgium, Hungary, Poland, 
South Korea and Sweden where each 
have a sample of approximately 500 
• Data are weighted to ensure that the 
sample's composition reflects that of the 
adult population according to the most 
recent Census data in each country 
• The “point difference” figures that show 
differences between the “actual” and 
“average guesses” may not match a 
straight subtraction. This is due to 
rounding, as the calculation is conducted 
using decimal places

  • 33. © Ipsos MORI Source: Ipsos Global @dvisor PERILS OF PERCEPTION 33 • This study is based on a survey run on Ipsos Global @dvisor, between 12-26 August 2014 • Global @dvisor is conducted monthly in 24 countries around the world via the Ipsos Online Panel. • For this study, 14 countries with high internet penetration were included: Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the US. • The research is based on an international sample of 11,527 adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and aged 16-64 in all other countries. Sample size is approximately 1,000 per country, with the exception of Belgium, Hungary, Poland, South Korea and Sweden where each have a sample of approximately 500 • Data are weighted to ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent Census data in each country • The “point difference” figures that show differences between the “actual” and “average guesses” may not match a straight subtraction. This is due to rounding, as the calculation is conducted using decimal places
