No wise men, no heroes: Scientists pin down Lithuanian national character

According to the results of a recent study of national archetypes of Lithuanians, we are kind-hearted, composed, caring, long suffering, down-to-earth, ordinary, and have a special relationship with nature. Based on psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of archetypes, the research has been conducted in co-operation with experts from a variety of backgrounds, including ethnologists, philosophers, historians, psychologists, and sociologists.
