Analysis of the results
Weak level 0 – 11 points
Medium level 11.5 – 19.5 points
High level 20 – 21 points
High level
Congratulations! Your level of knowledge about human rights and European Union is high.
You are a true European citizen and you know the democratic values. If we all have your
qualities, for sure we’ll live in a better world, more tolerant. Be a good example for the
community and don’t forget that you can always be better!
Medium level
Bravo! Your level of knowledge about human rights and European Union is medium.
It is ok, but you can do more. Although you are aware of the importance of the human rights, you
don’t know how to act. Learn, use and be part of the community!
Weak level
Not like that! Your level of knowledge about human rights and European Union is weak.
If the most of us would act like you, the world would be marked by intolerance and conflicts.
Take care, unfortunately, the mistakes of the past can be repeated. The good news is that from
today you can change yourself and be part from a world with common values. The diversity
means richness!
