About a little funny test full of clichés on the French?
Check this out: How French Are You?

As a French, I'm always amused by how wrong/funny certain clichés are, and at the same time how true other are.

That said, I got a 60%. Which makes me " as French as Jean Dujardin eating camembert on the Canal Saint Martin. You’re pretty French. You know good food and good wine and although you’re a pessimist who complains a lot, you always know how to enjoy life."

I guess it's good since Dujardin is actually French. And so am I. ;-)

So, how about you?

I tried it - I got a 34. Of course, I'm not French, so am not too worried. :-)

One way or another, I don't think there's any worry to have. ;-)

How French Are You?

You checked out 17 out of 90 on this list!


You’re as French as the fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. You’re probably a sweet, enthusiastic and optimistic human being, and that’s precisely why France isn’t a place for you. Try Belgium instead.

Actually I live in Canada. : )

Thanks for the link. :)

You got 23 out of 96 Canadian things!

You are as Canadian as two geese standing in a doorway playing a friendly round of “no, you go first!” You are not TRUE-ly-NORTH-STRONG-AND-FREE, but you are still pretty darn Canadian. Although you have some thoughtful and caring Canadian tendencies, you’ll need to implement a few more “sorrys,” snowmobiles, and syrup skills into your life.

Possibly! I got 7 on the British one and 11 on the American one. France seems like a better option.

I got 14!! "You’re as French as the fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. You’re probably a sweet, enthusiastic and optimistic human being, and that’s precisely why France isn’t a place for you. Try Belgium instead." LOL!!

I tried the English version and only got 22!! Guess I don't fall into the English stereotype either!! :) :)

I wonder if there is an American one for our American friends...

EDIT: Yes, yes there is an American one - and I scord 13 (though one of those I wasn't sure if to check or not)!!

LOL okay, I'm definitely not English. 9 out of 100. :-/ (I would probably have done a little better as Scot...)

And I did, wow, 19 out of 100 of the American, which apparently is still enough.

"You’re as American as Guy Fieri holding three cheeseburgers. You enjoy your freedom, but you’re not gonna sing the “Star-Spangled Banner” while blackout drunk at a work happy hour."

(That 3 burger thing makes me sick...)

But apparently I'm still definitely more French. ^^

ETA: thanks a lot for finding these! :-)

Still more French is good for you - and I'm still more English, yay!! These are fun - and possibly addictive!! :)

Ha My English score was 12 out of 100
And well my American score is 21 out of 100

Seems I'm more French... hmm
