Having lived in Germany and experienced the wonderful Deutche Bahn, I wouldn't really associate punctuality with being German.

The Deutsche Bahn rather cancel trains completely instead of them being late - which also says something.

This. Put another way, if it's harder to solve the problem than the statistic, then change the statistics.

Obvious in many ways once you've lived there

The test doesn't follow the correct procedures for diagnosing autism and after a thorough reading of the DSM-5-TR I could find no mention of German a mental illness being and I challenge anyone to me wrong prove.

It's obvious Claude slop, a stupid meme for people who want to think they are special

Yeah, we all know that. Could it be that you're German or autistic?

Die tests must be 100% accurate and follow the best known clinical procedures. Humor is not optimal.

>"Having lived in Germany and experienced the wonderful Deutche Bahn, I wouldn't really associate punctuality with being German." This is relative. In Germany, people complain when the train is late. Everywhere else, the train is just late.

You think people don't complain when the train is late in other countries? That's hardly a uniquely German thing

Only 31% German despite being German. Maybe I'm not German after all.

More like "31% German according to stereotypes about Germans formed by some random foreigner who read some 19th century German philosophy texts, and has an affinity for Russian neo-fascis"

Regarding punctuality I miss the option: “A moral obligation from my side, but I don’t care if others arrive late to an appointment with me”

"A moral obligation from my side, but I prefer if others don't come to an appointment with me"

I mean I've regularly seen trains in germany arriving AFTER the next train. Statistically they are worse than pretty much any european country.

And outside of trains, my german friends run the gamut of being always on time to systematically being 30 minutes late. Don't really see much of a correlation between being German and punctual.

Japan on the other hand I do associate with punctuality, when I worked there I was made to sit in the seiza postion for the m9rniny meeting if I was late by even 3 minutes. My friends there were overwhelmingly ontime except (and proving my point) for a German coworker I had there :)
