b.) lead to intolerance in Germany? [zu Intoleranz in Deutschland führen?

Nein

For this item, four test persons stated that they "don't know". The reasons for this are very different. Subject 02 confuses "patriot" with "pacifist", so the question makes no sense to them. Test person 06 wonders who could develop intolerance towards. Test person 07 makes the answer to the question dependent on what image of Germany one has: "It depends on what I see Germany as and we are simply a strong immigration country and we have a lot of migrants. And I personally also think that they are one of them. In this respect, strong patriotic feelings in an immigration country would never lead to intolerance, but rather the opposite. But I don't know whether someone who asks the question like this has the same thought [Germany as an immigration country]. If you see Germany purely as Germany without all the foreigners, then strong patriotic feelings would naturally lead to intolerance. It depends on which Germany you want to feel you belong to. That's why I couldn't say it."

Test person 16 chooses the "I couldn't say it" category because it fluctuates between two interpretations of the phrase "strong patriotic feelings": If the interpretation is based on the meaning of "national pride", this promotes tolerance in Germany, but if the phrase is interpreted in such a way that it is too strong feelings in the sense of "extremism" or "National Socialism", this leads quasi automatically to intolerance in Germany.

No changes recommended.
