How European are you?

by **Call to power** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:57 am

The Guardian is running a neat little quiz to find out just how EU-friendly you are, lets all take the quiz and compare answers because that seems like a good idea.

So yeah there is 4 different viewpoints you can take depending on your language skill (naturally America and damp rag countries don't have a quiz)
-British
-Italian
-Polish
-Spanish

Like 36% I am a Euro-paean

For you, Europe is an ode to joy, but not necessarily with a happy ending

This means I am cultured and generally better than you.

I should take this from the British perspective for the lulz.

well thats a very ethnocentric view (just noticing

) besides the obvious egomaniacality in your last statement

by **Alyakia** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:02 pm

lol i got 36% as well

i wanted to be a eurostar

by **The Diomede Islands** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:03 pm

13%

I love Europe, but I hate the EU. :mad:

I'm annoyed there's no option for 'unite with the Commonwealth' on the first question, and I was rated in the 1% 'Euro-trash' for some reason, surely I'd have to be European to be 'Euro-trash'?

by **Ranger halt** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:04 pm

seems anyone can get 36% (no insult it just seems to be common) :palm:

Took the test im 26% as a Brit

by **Desperate Measures** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:05 pm

As an American, it is my right to be able to take all internet quizzes. This is horribly unfair.

Pretending to be British:
Like 24% of respondents, you've been rated:
Eurostar!
You are blazing a trail for a European integration a trois cents kilometres a l'heure!

I'm Euro-trash, apparently. But come on, how could I resist clicking the "Agincourt. Trafalgar. Waterloo" option when it asked me about France?

I agree. I was disappointed there was an option for greater co-operation with the United Tax Evaders of America but none for greater Commonwealth co-operation.

Apparently the Guardian believes I fall in with the Evil 1% and that Europe should burn.

I have this skeptical feeling however, that it is in part based on my background study in History, and that thinking of Europe inspires me to remember famous Europe historical things, (Like world war 2) and not how pretty Germany might be now.

Ah well.

Euro-trash 1%

The British isles are part of the European continent.

Only 36% actually.

Here is a special American edition I found

by **Malgrave** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:17 pm

I laughed at one of the options from the UK's viewpoint.

I look upon the European summits as

- rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. :rofl:

I'm a Eurostar.

by **Bales Rant** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:17 pm

Yeah I took this earlier on today. I got 27% - 'euro-logical' (British).

In principle I agree with the notion of European unity/closer economic and political integration; I just don't like the current incarnation of it - the EU.

by **Rinderbraten** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:17 pm

13%, taken from the British perspective, though I am an American. It would be useful if it compared you with the majority of people in the country tested as.

Hmmm. To Google!

100%.

Seriously though, this doesn't tell you how European you are its how in favor of the EU you are. I got 26%. None of those quizzes really applied to me though so I can't say accurately. I don't really like the EU in general, but I don't hate it.

by **Mindhar** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:19 pm

Like 26% of respondents, you've been rated:
Euro-logical
You are either indifferent or ambivalent about a union headquartered in a city with a urinating boy as its principal icons

Oh I see what they did there.

I guess that sounds about right—I quite like Europe itself, but I can't say the EU has been an unqualified success.

by **Aethelstania** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:19 pm

I got 13% , I love Europe I don't like the EU

we can all work together and be friends without it to quote a famous meercat "simple's"

by **Permutatia** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:19 pm

I'm just a human being, and I like having sex, watching movies and killing Fascists.

by **Samuraikoku** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:20 pm

I took it from the British standpoint (For those of you who don't know me, I'm from Argentina). I got Euro-logical (26%).

Sounds pretty damn French.

ALL OF THE RACISM!

Anyway...

You are either indifferent or ambivalent about a union headquartered in a city with a urinating boy as its principal icons.
