Are you smart enough to be a German Citizen? |
|
This quiz is based on the German Citizenship Test. to pass you need to have a score of 17/33 http://www1.spiegel.de/active/quiztool/fcgi/quiztool.fcgi?id=33093I ended up with a score of 26/33.

You scored 33 out of a possible 33 points.
Well done! You would have no problem getting a German passport. START AGAIN?

2. That was interesting. I did better than I thought I would. |
|
I missed five or six (I was going back and guessing again until I got it right after missing one, though; so it tabulated my final score as 33 out of 33!). I feel a little dumb for missing the border question, though. The final two I got correct, though; even though they were total shot-in-the-dark guesses!

Good to know I could gain citizen ship somewhere else if necessary :)
I was very surprised about the courses children over 14 are required to take...I don't want to give the answer away here.

Not bad for not even studying ahead :)
I lived there for two and a half years in the early 80's and would love to live there the rest of my life if I could.

Some were guesses (I don't know flags), but others seemed fairly obvious.

Some were educated guesses, some were just regular old guesses. If I discount the shot-in-the-dark guesses, I still think I'd qualify.

11. It says I scored 33 out of 33, but I got 8 or 9 wrong the first try. |
|
I assumed it would keep track of the ones I got wrong, so I didn't count, but I'm thinking it was in the 8-9 range.

Missed a couple, not knowing the names of districts within Bavaria or the colours of the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia.

There were about 5 I didn't know, but it let me go back until I got it right and then told me .... "You scored 33 out of a possible 33 points. Well done! You would have no problem getting a German passport."

Many of those 24 being lucky guesses.
I may be going to a conference in Austria next summer. Maybe I should do some networking and see if I can get hired ABD somewhere...

22. if only they gave the test in English! |
|
Ah.... Germany. Too bad (sort of.... sort of good, I guess) we bombed the shit out of it, or else it would be a lovely place.
I think I got about 25, but I went back and did some again, and didn't keep track of how many I got wrong the first time, so that's just a guess.

I cheated though, I kept answering until I got the right answer, otherwise I would have missed about 6 of them.

My great-grandmother would be proud.
To see her homeland today.
Hopefully, she'd be kinda proud of me, too.

The ones I got wrong, I should have gone with the first answer that came into my head. They were correct. Scheisse.

My wife is a German citizen and resident. I wouldn't have that problem anyway. But then I couldn't vote against the Republicans, so I'll keep my U.S. passport for now, thanks all the same.

33. 28. But I have a feeling that the real test ... |
|
... is probably written in German. That would increase the difficulty for me.
I know the German word for "beer". That's about all.
