Slovakia eye colour (parliament study)

**Supercomputer** · 01-10-2021, 11:59 AM

I counted 143 out of 150 MPs including all potential ethnic minorities. For a few members I wasn't able to find decent photos, so I left them out. (I had to Google every person since official website has shitty images)

Results:

Blue 56/143 or 39,2%
Grey 30/143 or 20,1%
Light Mixed 13/143 or 9,1%
Dark Mixed 24/143 or 16,8%
Brown 20/143 or 14%

Overall light eyes are 59,3% or 68,4% if you count Light Hazel ones.

If we compare Slovaks to Czechs from my previous study https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...study-results) we find a much higher number of blue eyes, however I do not attribute importance to it since it's most probably a lighting and classification issue (the line between blue and grey is already thin and I counted photos that were taken in different conditions). The line between light and dark eyes seems more realistic. Czechs are slightly lighter eyed than Slovaks which is supported by scientific studies here https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...tion-of-Czechs. However I still expected to be greater difference between Czechia. Slovaks appear lighter eyed than I thought.

Clear bias. So for my country or Spain you don't include even green eyes, but for Slovaks you include light hazel?

Light hazel eyes are dark. Clear agenda to lightwash central/north Euros and darkwash southerners.

Nonsense. For Croatia I included those eyes that looked light on photos on matura.hr. I did not have a choice in including dark green because they weren't distinguishable from darks. I have made that clear in the original post. A dishonest thing would be if I did not mention that. But I did. For Spain I was simply citing Spanish anthropologist Hoyos Sainz. I did not have an influence on the standards he used in a study done more than 120 years ago. I have acknowledged that his numbers probably exclude light hazel. For this study I deliberately included BOTH numbers so that there isn't any confusion and I was able to do that because Google luckily has HQ photos of Slovak parliamentarians.

An example of eyes that I included in light hazel category here:

They are clearly grey eyes with minimal orange admixture.
