The Minister for Internal Affairs says an incoming multi-choice test for those seeking citizenship shouldn't be a barrier for people seeking to become a New Zealander.
The test will be imposed for people seeking citizenship from late next year.
Applicants would have to answer 20 questions and get 15 correct to pass.
Minister Brooke van Velden says says examples could be - what are our laws around domestic violence, or whether women and men have equal rights.
She says it's about understanding shared responsibility.
"If you're getting them wrong - really? We have to question citizenship there."

Pet cats are good at catching and hunting wild animals, but there's been concerns raised over what this means for the safety of our native fauna.
It's good for pet cats to roam, but growing awareness of the devastating impact they can have on our wildlife means owners need to take more responsibility, according to experts.
Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Aotearoa managing director Dr Helen Beattie says it's difficult to keep a pet cat confined to the home and it's important to keep them safe.
She explained it's worth looking into a cat-proof fence to ensure they can't get too far.

The Broadcasting Standards Authority's not long for this world, with Media and Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith announcing today it'll be scrapped.
He says the body to monitor TV and radio is past its use-by date - and media can self-regulate using the Media Council.
No time-frame's set, but legislation will be drafted in coming months.
Goldsmith says times have changed.
"The world's moved on and it's obvious to everybody how we get our information has changed dramatically, and it was sort of looking after a thin slice of broadcasting, so it no longer made sense."

The Broadcasting Standards Authority is being binned, and the Government's moving to let media companies regulate themselves.
The Authority was established in 1989 - but the Government says the media landscape's changed beyond its control.
Media and Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith says print media already regulates itself through the Media Council, which broadcasters can join.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this move reflects the changing media market, and it'll save the taxpayers' money in the long run too.
