The results are calculated from the combination of responses to two questions – 1. A respondent admires the figure at all and 2. whether they are the figure the respondent admires the most, the survey said.
"During the spring this year YouGov gathered open-ended nominations from panellists across 38 countries and territories, asking them simply: "Thinking about people alive in the world today, which [man or woman] do you most admire?" These nominations were then used to compile a list of the 20 men and 20 women who received the most nominations and were nominated in at least four countries. An additional 5-10 popular local figures were added to the lists for individual countries," explained the company, the methodology of compiling this list.
