A. It wasn't called Britain then so all answers are wrong

Eh, yes it was — unless you're saying that it was Britannia because it was in Latin…?

As an Irish Republican I am not sure if I am happy with my score

You scored 11 out of a possible 15

Congratulations! If this was the real British citizenship test you would have passed the 75% mark. Well done you! Feel free to keep your passport.

Terrible citizen test imo.

Guessed most of them:P

A Primal Nut

13 out of 15 - 75%! Couple of lucky guesses in there though!

cristoir

8. That is considerably harder than the US one if I might add :P.

11, thought I got 12. Meh, no intention of getting a UK passport until it suits me for tax purposes anyway.

charlemont

11, Not too bad, Very surprised to see the Famine question.

Stinicker

I scored 11, I could actually take up a British passport due to fact that my mother and father were both children of British* Citizens, well they were both Irish but both my grandfathers whom I never met were both British Citizen's due to the fact they were born in Ireland whilst it was under British rule before Independence.

My parents would first have to claim their UK passports before I could claim then, neither will do it as they are staunch Nationalists, and my mother said her father would turn in the grave if she claimed he was a British Citizen to get a UK Passport, the same man fought in the old IRA in the war of independence.

It is actually safer to have an Irish passport anyway because if you were kidnapped with say a UK passport it would be off with your head wheras an Irish Passport may see you being released.

Esoteric_

13. Shocked at that, since I have very little interest in England and never did History past Junior Cert level when I was in school.

Not how it works unfortunately. If that was the case everyone here with a Grandparent born in before 1922 would be able to get one.

The Master of Disaster

13/15

I got 4 and 8 wrong. I don't think there's too much in there that's so specific to Britain that would give the average Brit a significant advantage over any reasonably well read individual, which defeats the purpose of a citizenship test, no? That said I do believe somehow that most British people would fail it but that says more about the average levels of general knowledge in society than anything else.

Is there any site where you can attempt an Irish one?

What a bizarre set of questions to be sure but I'm as 'British as Finchley' and would have been well pissed off if I'd failed. 12/15

Most English people are so damn parochial that they don't even know what's over the nearest hill.
