Did mine on a mobile device and the results were displayed differently.

Matches are Germany , Australia (most similar) and New Zealand. Opposites are Peru, Ecuador and Yemen(least similar).

In order I had:

Independence
Imagination
Determination/Perserverance
Hard Work
Tolerance/Respect
Responsibility
Self Expression
Obedience
Religious Faith
Unselfishness
Thrift/Saving Money
 
The irony is overwhelming.

I don't know how to answer this for more than one child. Maybe people with a conscience can add weight of importance to each category independent of a child's personality and strengths, but I cannot put a blanket pattern over raising my kids like that.

Hmmm, makes sense. I answered and don't have a reference for child rearing.

Yes your approach for each child needs to be different as they themselves are different. For example my oldest needs to learn tolerance and respect. My middle child needs to learn independence. My youngest needs to learn hard work and determination.

But I tried to just take a base approach and placed those I'd like them them to have when they leave in order. That does not mean that obedience or religious faith is bad or not important. They are. Just if I had to choose i'd rather they have imaginations than obedience.

Yeah, of course. I think that goes without saying. Each child is going to have a different personality and a different outlook on life. I thought the initial was posited in a "all things equal" type of way.

Kind of how I took it as well.
 
I got Australia as most similar and Yemen as most opposite. Similar matches, New Zealand, Australia and Germany. Opposite - Peru, Colombia and Yemen.
 
South Korea. I answered from the perspective(US culture) of what I thought they won't learn outside the home adequately on the top end versus what they'll be encouraged to learn on the outside going to the bottom as being least important. Like money management for instance, in and of itself I wouldn't rank as high as I did, except for that fact that I know the culture doesn't teach it well so I put as being #2.
 
Here's my ranking:

IMAGINATION
UNSELFISH
TOLERANCE
SELF EXPRESSION
DETERMINATION
INDEPENDENCE
HARD WORK
RESPONSIBILITY
THRIFT
FAITH
OBEDIENCE

Most similar:
Sweden
Australia
New Zealand

Oh, and I'm still loling at the Australians for believing they're so civic minded. There's a substantial difference between New Zealand and Australia, IMO.

Opposite matches:
Palestine
Yemen
Pakistan

The richest people in the history of forever have a problem teaching wealth management? I'm thinking this is a typical North American "christian" talking down to point.
 
Guaranteed Franky has the Dave Ramsey collection displayed front and center on his book shelf to thrill his poker buddies with.
 
Aw I hoped this would be one of those answer a bunch of questions and they will tell you what your values are.

MONEY
INDEPENDENCE
