I'm "hated" by the way.  Female, look a bit like I might be a Muslim, don't think it was all better in the old days, not married.

Any here make it all the way up to the dizzying heights of approval that is "ignored"

I had to look up who Michael Gove was, and with that answer I was 'Hated'.  (Creationist schools?  Noplzthxbai.)

Female, neither parent born in the UK (being a fourth generation American), no job, and no Michael Gove.

I take it once you've answered a question 'wrong', there's no way to build your level back up?

Gods no.  The Daily Mail is some sissy pinko "give them a second chance" type of Pravda wannabe.  Once you're hated then you damn well stay hated.

Ah - I wasn't sure if being a married female and having no job might take me back up a level because I'm supposed to be in the kitchen making sammiches instead of working.

They must hate me - non-English, almost defiantly anti-tabloids, and "no real man/woman" by their standards. But I regard them as a crass paper, so we get even.  ;D

They'd say you should be working in somebody else's kitchen. An upper-class kitchen.

Well, your clearly either not making a sufficient number of sammiches or not taking the appropriate amount of time and putting in the requisite care to making them.  If you were, you wouldn't have time to take quizzes on the internet.

Frankly, using the internet without Mr Oniya's supervision might have been enough to get you hated.

I'm a very efficient sammich-maker.  If you make too many, they don't get et.

And who says that I'm not standing in the kitchen right now, rolling out dough for Cornish pasties?  Voice-to-text software is an amazing thing, you know.

I'll grant you that - I mostly threw in Cornish because I didn't want people to think I was rolling out dough to make these

I have achieved "hated" and in retaliation I don't care.  In fact, I'm so indifferent to the Daily Mail and its opinion of anything that if they ceased publishing I wouldn't notice.

*smiles*

Without the handicap of being honest, it only took me one retry to get 'ignored'.

I had to answer the questions as follows:

Male
Heterosexual
Not even vaguely Muslim-looking
Employed
Think it was better in the old days
married
Pure UK lineage
like Michael Gove
Never voted Labour
Never had pre-marital sex
Don't like wind farms
Never worked for the BBC
God save the Queen!

I'm curious, which was the one you got "wrong" on your first try?  I got "ignored" on my first dishonest attempt, and I'm wondering which British reference didn't translate well enough to let you guess the "correct" answer.

They should have included the questions "Do you want the death penalty back?" and "Do you think know that forensic psychologists are schmucks?". That would have widened the intake even more.

The answers I got wrong were all on my honest try.  One of those was the only one I had to look up - Michael Gove.  Since it was all 'two-choice' questions, I hit number 8 before I had to do any real thinking to get 'ignored', and most of those were easy to guess just from what I've read from the Daily Mail.  (I actually would have gotten three of those right while being honest - I've never voted Labour, unless voting Democrat counts; I've never worked for the BBC, and I have no reason not to like the Queen.)

Ah, sorry I misread.  One retry after your honest one, not one retry of the dishonest one.

If I'd've got far enough:

Have a job
Kinda sorta maybe pure UK lineage.
Never voted labour
Never worked for the BBC
God save the Queen.

I'm reasonably fluent in both British and Australian, although I read both better than I speak/write them.  ;)  I blame public television.

I made it all the way to question 8 before I reached "Hated" status.  8-)

I don't see what's wrong with edible pasties, myself. :D


I bombed out when I didn't know who Michael Gove is. Did good until it asked me if the 'old days' were better (I'm under 30, I have no 'old days'), married (see previous), if both my parents were born in UK (neither), and Michael Gove (who?). HATED.

Oniya

I figured I'd at least look up this Gove fellow to see whether I'd feel comfortable taking tea with him.  Answer:  One or the other of us would have ended up feeling uncomfortable, probably him after I smiled and poured the pot in his lap.

Before I even answered questions I knew the daily mail hated me. But I answered five questions before it was redeemed that they do indeed hate me. Oh daily mail, silly you.

I bet - would only have had to state your place of origin, if that had been among the questions.

I'm thrilled to say I only got a question further than you by dint of being married.

How lovely to see Australian recognised as unique from other forms of English :) Dare I ask what public television you're seeing from Australia?

Being a left-wing half-Scot Aussie I only made it to about Q10.

Actually, no TV at all for the past year and a half - and I can't remember any specific shows off the top of my head (I think one was a documentary on poisonous animals, and more than half of the entries were from Down Under).
