Do you know what percentage of people in your country are obese, or how many people are online?

Market research firm Ipsos Mori has devised a quiz to put this knowledge to the test and reveal how ignorant you, and your country, are to modern-day issues.

Called Perils of Perception, the interactive test features 10 questions ranging from the average age of a population to the nation's wealth.

The data is taken from a recent Ipsos Mori report that gathered official data from 28 countries including the UK, US, Australia, India, Mexico and countries across Europe. During the interviews, Mexico came out on top as the most ignorant country among those studied. This was followed by India, Brazil and Peru (pictured)

The data is taken from a recent Ipsos Mori report that gathered official survey results from 33 countries including the UK, US, Australia, India, Mexico and countries across Europe. The top 28 countries were included in the quiz.

A total of 25,556 interviews were conducted between 1 October and 16 October 16 2015.

The quiz asks questions such as: 'Out of every 100 people, about how many do you think have access to the internet at home either through a computer or mobile device?' and 'Out of every 100 working-age women in Great Britain, about how many do you think are in employment?'

Other questions test users on their knowledge of politicians, inequality and obesity.

'The intention here is to showcase our findings on the gap between perception and reality and to examine why people around the world are so wrong about basic facts about their population,' explained Ipsos Mori.

When asked about how many people are obese in their respective countries, India, Japan and China overestimated (pictured). The average guess in India was 41, compared to the actual result of 20. In Japan, the average guess was 32 compared to 23, and the split in China was 34 to 28

When surveyed about the percentage of people within a country are immigrants, every country other than Israel and Saudia Arabia overestimated. Argentina topped the list with an average guess of 30 per cent. The actual number of immigrants in Argentina is only 5 per cent.

Once a user has completed the quiz, their results are compared with other users, from other countries.

During the interviews, Mexico came out on top as the most ignorant country among those studied.

This was followed by India, Brazil and Peru.
