About This Quiz

When St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland, he might not have known that he was moving to a land inhabited by magical creatures from the Tuatha Dé Dé Danann. Long before the British Isles were settled by modern man, descendants of the Goddess Danu entered the mortal realm in the form of small fairies like the Leprechaun and the Brownie. Now a huge part of Irish folklore, Leprechauns have had a long evolution into the mischievous, gold-hoarding, green-wearing tiny people we try to trap every St. Patrick's Day. 

As we search for the pot of gold during this quiz, we are going to see how much of a leprechaun you are at heart. Unless you're sitting in a hedgerow repairing shoes next to the world's smallest laptop, we are going to assume that you are mortal. However, everyone has a little leprechaun magic somewhere inside, and we're going to figure out how much lives inside you. 

Every question you answer will help us follow the rainbow to your inner leprechaun's qualities. After you show us where you've hidden your pot of gold, we will feel comfortable telling you how much of a mythical giant you are - even if you are extra small! Are you ready to find out?
