College students in the United States, Argentina, Fiji, India, and New Zealand were asked to draw a map of the world in 10 minutes, putting in as much detail as possible. Maps were examined for number of countries noted, accuracy in shape and placement of continents and countries, and other details. Geocentrism seems to be reflected in the fact that one's own country is almost always disproportionately large, and it also seems to be reflected in the fact that neighboring countries virtually always tend to be drawn on the maps
