How do the Czechs see themselves? / Jak Cesi hodnoti sami sebe?

How do Czechs evaluate themselves this year? According to a recent poll about 1,000 Czech voters see themselves as:
- witty
- ambitious
- smart
- outgoing
- fun to be around
- pleasant

What is interesting is that five years ago the Czechs evaluated themselves more as hard-workers and rational thinkers (I guess we have lightened up a bit since then :0).

How do the Czechs see other nationalities?

Moravians = witty and hospitable
Germans = individualists, focused, wealthy, arrogant and stuck up
Slovaks = also witty and hospitable
Vietnamese = hard-worker, thriftiness, two-faced
Roma = impulsive, boisterous, difficulty to assimilate, slow, two-faced

But where are the negative aspects of the Czech nature? Oh wait, I forgot, we don’t have any! We are simply GREAT all the time!!! :0))


CZ:Jak se Cesi tento rok zhodnotili? Podle agentury Focus to s nami neni tak spatne. Kolem tisice ucastniku vyse uvedene ankety jsou Cesi:
- spolecensti
- maji smysl pro humor
- ambiciozni
- chytri
- sympaticti
- prijemni

Pred peti lety se videli vice jako narod pracovity a racionalni. Takto take hodnoti jine narody:
Moravaci – smysl pro humor, pohostinnost
Nemci – orientace na vykon, ambice a individualismus; preciznost, bohatost; arogance a namyslenost
Slovaci – smysl pro humor a pohostinnost (pred peti lety to byla impulsivnost a nespoutanost)
Romove – impulsivnost, nespoutanost, pomalost, vypocitavost, arogance; tezko se prizpusobuje
Vietnamci – pracovitost, sporivost, vypocitavost

Hůře dopadá průzkum, jak vidí Čechy
cizinci.

Z článku http://www.radio.cz/cz/rubrika/udalosti/cizinci-vidi-cechy-jako-venkovany-vyrabejici-hlavne-olej

Nejsme národ skvělých hokejistů a krásných dívek, nýbrž civilizací nepříliš zasažená země obývaná rázovitými a udřenými vesničany. Jsme levná pracovní síla a to hlavní, na co se zmůžeme, je výroba slunečnicového oleje a věžních hodin a máme sklon k melancholii.

Ahoj Jarybo! No to je super doplnujici clanek! Dekuju!!! To musim hned prelozit a dat to na blog jako ‘kapitola 2.” :0)

Fakt mi prislo divny (hlavne take vtipne), ze clanek ktery jsem nasla ja, nezminuje zadne negativni vlastnosti Cechu, i kdyz se zminuje o negativnich vlastnostech cizincu.

Takze cesi jsou melancholici co vyrabeji olivovy olej a ve volnem casu zpravuji veznzi hodiny, co? HAHAHA :) ))

Thought some negatives were tunelovany penize and taxi drivers. Ive had people tell me that also beer drinking.

Very funny about taxi drivers…I hope this does not come from Americans :) The taxi drivers here are horrible and their cars even worse! Not to mention what they charge.

That reminds me that one time I left my purse on the side of the road (here in the USA) and guess who returned it to me (he even drove to my house!) – a taxi driver!!! The nicest guy….

Eva Z December 10, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Wow! That’s awesome! So they can’t all be bad! I actually use a private taxi due to the horibleness of regular taxis at DFW airport and the guy is also extremely nice and has nice clean cars.
