Talk:Bribe Payers Index

Direction of score

There is no explicit indication here whether a high score is good or bad. I would guess from the countries listed that it is good, but I shouldn't have to guess. - Jmabel | Talk 04:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Are bribes good of bad? "Respondents are asked to answer on a scale of 1 (bribes are common) to 7 (bribes never occur). In calculating the BPI, the answers are converted to a score between 0 and 10, and the ranking reflects the average score." Kmorozov 15:01, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Presumably bribes are bad, at least in TI's view. Yes, I see that the 1 to 7 scale is explained, but the numbers in the table are entirely from the 0 to 10 scale, whose direction goes unstated. - Jmabel | Talk 07:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Have added a line from the original document to resolve the high score issue (= less likely to bribe, although I typed it wrong in my edit summary). I've noticed that the whole article is a cut and paste from the original report, is that OK? 86.136.209.53 13:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: "cut and paste": the Wikipedia copyright police probably will not like that. I doubt that TI is at all unhappy to have us simply use their own self-presentation, or I'd be a lot more worried about it as a copyvio, but this should be rewritten. - Jmabel | Talk 22:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Actualization

The figures on the table claim to e from BPI11, but the table shown in the official report is slightly different. I don't know if the data currently shown is updated since, outdated or just vandalized, but it should be checked and, either the data or the source, corrected.-47.60.113.96 (talk) 09:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
