Is the way Finns value honesty and directness that radically different from other north(west)ern European high-trust societies though? While reading the article, I recognized a lot of things that are also true for the Netherlands, my home country: stuff like directness to the point of bluntness, a certain intolerance for exaggeration, a generally positive view of the government and its actions, those are all things that are also very important in Dutch society -- and I think that is also true for Germany, and all of the Nordic countries.
