FJ proudly presents Japan's only Proficiency Test about being a Dad (nicknamed the "papa kentei")

As of February 2009, you can now sit the Fathering Proficiency Test online. (Press Release (PDF)) Go to the official website for more details.

Unfortunately the papa kentei website is only available in Japanese. If you can't read Japanese then click here to view the site through the Google translation machine.

*First Ever* Papa Kentei

The first official Fathering Proficiency Test was held simultaneously in 7 locations across Japan on March 16, 2008. Over 1,000 proud Dads took part, answered 50 multiple choice questions about looking after babies and raising children and wrote an essay. While it is impossible to "fail" the Fathering Proficiency Test, all of our Dads were rated as one of "Super Dad", "Nice Dad", "Slightly Challenged Dad" or "You're making me nervous! Dad".

Date:

7 locations (including Tokyo, Nagoya, Kansai, Hiroshima, Kurashiki)
