Hungarians are hard-working people who value family, security, independence and education. They avoid change or uncertain situations which, their history has taught them, can be risky. Because of this, they tend to socialize with a small group of loyal, long-term friends.

Hungarians communicate directly and freely offer their opinions. They maintain eye contact when conversing and staring is not considered rude. Relationships are built by offering personal information instead of asking questions.

The country has a few unique claims to fame: Hungarians discovered Vitamin C and invented the Rubik’s Cube.
