Think You’re Irish Enough? Take the Test Everyone’s Talking About
There’s a certain something about being Irish.
It’s not just where you’re born… it’s what you carry with you.
A love for music. A story for every pint.
A heart that beats to the sound of the bodhrán—even if you’ve never been to the island itself.
So we made a little test.
Not official. Not scientific.
But if you know, you know.
👇 Give yourself 1 point for each one you’ve done…

💬 The Comments Made It Even Better
When we shared this in the Love Ireland Facebook Group, the stories started pouring in.
Some were hilarious. Some were heartfelt. All were pure gold.
Like this one:
“I even tried to demonstrate an Irish jig to my grandkids. I had socks on and the floor was slick. Slipped, hit my head, glasses flew. The grandkids were terrified. I was laughing. That’s Irish.”
Or:
“Never been to Ireland—but I dream of it every day and I will make it. Erin go Bragh.”
And this:
“I’ve done them all… even opened the first Irish pub in Utrecht, The Netherlands back in ’81. Still don’t like Guinness, though.”
