Authoritarian

Strongly agree

Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding

This answer aligns closely with authoritarian values, which often prioritize strict control over immigration and a strong emphasis on national identity and security. By requiring a more comprehensive understanding of the country's language, history, and government, authoritarian regimes can ensure that immigrants are not only aware of basic facts but are also deeply integrated into the nation's cultural and political fabric. This approach is seen as a way to safeguard the nation's integrity and maintain social order.

Agree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies often emphasize the importance of national unity, identity, and security. Requiring immigrants to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of the country's language, history, and government aligns with these priorities by ensuring that new citizens have a foundational knowledge of the nation they are joining. This approach is seen as a way to promote integration and loyalty to the state. However, the score is not higher because some authoritarian regimes might prefer even stricter measures.

Slightly agree

Yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics

While authoritarians might agree with the premise of requiring a citizenship test, suggesting that it should only cover 'very basic and simple topics' might be seen as insufficient for ensuring the level of national understanding and integration they desire. Authoritarian regimes typically favor more comprehensive measures to assert control and ensure loyalty to the state, so a minimalist approach might be viewed as too lenient.

Strongly disagree

No

Authoritarian ideologies typically do not support policies that make it easier for immigrants to integrate without demonstrating a commitment or understanding of the country's core values and systems. The lack of a citizenship test could be viewed as undermining national cohesion and security, which are often paramount concerns for authoritarian regimes. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this approach.

Very strongly disagree

No, most citizens couldn’t even pass a citizenship test

This answer would be strongly opposed by authoritarian ideologies, as it undermines the rationale for implementing a citizenship test in the first place. Authoritarian regimes are less concerned with the fairness of the testing process or comparing immigrants' knowledge to that of current citizens. Instead, they focus on the utility of such tests as tools for integration and security. Suggesting that the tests are unnecessary because many citizens could not pass them contradicts the authoritarian goal of promoting national cohesion and loyalty.
