What is Swedish anyway? Are you Swedish just because of where you were born in the world? Is it the language you are most comfortable speaking?
Or is it something more?
Is it passion for a fika that makes you Swedish? Do you need to live in Sweden to have some Swedish in you?
I don’t have an answer to these questions. But I do have a quiz for you to find out how Swedish you are! It may be a little off, since I have Norrland influence. But that doesn’t make it less fun!

What do you think makes one Swedish?

Hilarious since I actually am half Swedish. : D
From what we can tell, Sweden is in your blood. Sweden is in your blood.
This is my result!
)))
my dad dad was born in öland sweden and my dads mom was born in stockholm sweden. my father always tried to teach me the language. i grew up in jamestown new york which is a big swedish community. my family lived on swede hill.
And what was your result?
Quizen borde heta “Hur inavlad är du?” Seriöst, inget stämmer ju! Om du kollar på Visit Swedens Facebook sida så ser du att fler håller med, fler svenskar för den delen! Nu lurar du ju alla som inte är Svenska! Tack, Skellefteå…
I am totally open to suggestions for some changes! But yeah, I lived in Skelleftea, it was based on my experiences
well I’m Swedish and I must say I don’t agree with the markings of what’s correct and what’s wrong, so if you do this test as a foreigner who just happens to like Sweden and the Swedish – don’t worry too much if you get low scores! The person putting this together is not exactly right him/her self.
e.g. Fika has absolutely NOTHING to do with your lunch, I got “wrong” when clicking that meatballs are great with jam and potatoes – which is the best (and most common) way of eating meatballs; boiled potatoes, sauce and Lingonberry jam. So this person is obviously only focusing on his/her own opinion rather than what is actually, factually Swedish. So, again, don’t worry about low grades!!
Yep, it is! But Fika DOES have something to do with your lunch. When out fishing/mushroom picking, asked to bring a fika, it means bring your lunch! If you bring just a banana or a cookie you will be hungry all day.
So personal experience is one, experience in Northern Sweden is another.
I’m happy to change anything you guys think needs changing
Also, I need to check the meatballs question, your answer should have been right…
Ah, two answers were right in this question. Maybe the quiz is acting up? Meatballs do come in a can at IKEA
I was born in Sweden but came to Australia when I was quite young… I have been back several times (most recently as may 2011) as all of my family are there…. So its quite funny that I was scored as half Swedish…lol
Not bad, 93%, but I wished I had 100%, for I’d like to be Swedish for the rest of my life!!
I am half Swedish – my better half is Swedish!
I got 11 but some answers did not click as a tick when I did them.
But it didn’t seem to give me a score
“From what we can tell, you are about half Swedish. Not too shabby!” Lol I did get tricked by the vodka question- being in Southern Sweden…and some questions had more than one answer? That was confusing haha! Enjoyable.
Yeah, my friend in Uppsala pointed that out to me. Where I lived, it was all whiskey. And not just one person, multiple parties, multiple people. But maybe it is just the town I lived in!
wtf… Vadå whiskey??????? Är det någon inavlad idiot från Skellefteå som gjort detta test när det står att det är det dom drickar i den där jävla hålan eller? Jag antar det iaf, därför slutar jag göra detta inavelstest och lämnar denna äckliga inavlade skit sida på en gång!
HA! Ja han som har gjort testet heter ju missfoster så det säger ju allt! HAHA Jävla äcklig dom där inavlade svinen är!
instämmer!! wiskey… i riktiga norrland (över polcirkeln) så dricker folk, hembränt och sen vad de får tag i.. sen om det står wiskey eller vodka på den.. !?!
How Swedish are you? You are if you know it can’t be measured.
Thank you! Perhaps I should put a disclaimer that if you need to take a quiz to find out if you are Swedish, then you aren’t? Some people are quite angry about it! It’s all in fun people
just a Sweden fan !
hm.. kass, norrland allt över uppsala!?!! fördelningen ser ut som följande: allt över polcirkeln norrland, nedanför polcirkeln stockholm och dess förorter, allt söder om norrköping skåne.. sen har vi en norsk koloni till väst som kallas värmland..
LOL, I changed the alcohol question since I was getting so much grief about it. I’m so sorry Sweden!
sweden lover
I’m from Norrland, Norrbotten in fact, and I scored as “half swedish”. I think you need to finetune your test… The fika question is just wrong, a packed lunch makes me think of the lunch box I microwave at work. Not fika. Maybe you could change it to “sandwich lunch at an excursion” or something. Also, whiskey?? As a teenager in Norrbotten we sustained ourselves on Vodka (homemade, bought in Finland, or from Systemet in declining order
) and/or cider. And actually, I think the very sweet cider we have here is quite specific to Sweden.
It is a fun test though, maybe you should make a “How Norrland are you?” quiz also.
Maybe the lunch thing is lost in translation, I will improve it.
Though really, the whole time I’ve been there I did not see a vodka at a party once. Unless girls were mixing drinks, and that doesn’t count, I’m thinking shots. Everyone busts out the whiskey. Though both should be right now!
Good though on Cider and the Norrlander quiz!
100% ! Woohoo. Aussie living in Sweden
Sweet! Good job! Where in Sweden do you live?
I am Swedish and I have lived here my whole life.. I got this result: From what we can tell, you are not as Swedish as you would like to be.
LOL, please don’t take it to heart. It is a fun little quiz some crazy foreigner (me) made up
