Polish Score Top Marks in Britishness Test
The Polish are more "British" than the British according to new research. The research, conducted by Red Squirrel Publishing, tested over 15,000 Facebook users using a sample version of the Home Office's citizenship exam.
The results show that Polish users gained the highest average score.
The research also found that of the 11,118 British people who sat the sample test only 1,585, or 14 per cent, achieved a pass score. Britain was only ranked sixth in Red Squirrel Publishing's "Britishness" league table of nations behind Poland, Finland, Sweden, Germany and New Zealand.
Facebook users completed the sample citizenship test, which examines knowledge of British life, laws and institutions, via an application on the social networking site.
Henry Dillon, editor of Red Squirrel Publishing, which publishes a range of British citizenship test study guides, said the research provides further evidence of the challenging nature of the test. more »
