>The index is calculated using the average weighted share of positive assessments reached by each country.
From their methodology page. I would argue that there is just as much information in the other end of the scale.
For instance, China is extremely respected, iPhone, and not, low cost electronics, at the same time.
Maybe a country with no positive but also no negative associations would be more desirable than one with split positive and negative ratings.
Would be nice to be able to browse the raw data.
- twiss 9y agoI'm not sure that China is that respected in the public mind for the iPhone. They came out last in this ranking, meaning not many positive associations, and it's not for nothing that Apple writes "Designed in California" on the back.
