Why is Canada the best country for introverts?
This is far from the country's first time being the best in any given category, but coming out on top as a great country for introverted folks begs the question — how and why?
Kayon Menzie, Digital PR Executive at Kaizen told Narcity that by analyzing people per square meter, wifi speed, rent and average salary, it was shown that Canada outshined other countries as a more suitable environment for introverted people by her clients at Merchant Machine.
"Being an introvert is often misunderstood and mistakenly seen as socially anxious when in reality introverts just get their energy by spending time alone with their thoughts," the report read.
In terms of scoring, Canada has four people per square meter, 145 megabits per second for internet, an average salary of $29,587 and $1,027 in rental costs per month.
Australia came in second place, seemingly in equal standing with Canada yet falling flat with wifi speed. The country made up for it in yearly salary and individuals per square meter.
"With less than four people per square meter, Canada, Australia and Iceland are the least socially draining countries," the report read.
Iceland, Russia, Finland, New Zealand, Suriname, Mauritania, Norway and Belize followed suit in that order.
