Requirements to become a British Citizen

I found some information on the requirements to become a British Citizen:

 

Foreign nationals may apply for certificates of naturalisation. This also applies to Commonwealth citizens and Irish citizens.

Applicants must:

  • have lived legally in the United Kingdom for five years (the last year should have been free of any time limit);
  • be 18 or over
  • not be of unsound mind;
  • be of good character;
  • have sufficient knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (depending on their age and physical and mental condition); and
  • stay closely connected with the United Kingdom.

from http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/nationality/advice/bn7

 

I was wondering what exactly is meant by "good character"? Any suggestions?

You can answer a few of the questions set on the 'Life in the UK test' and see how well you do, I got 8 out of 14... mostly guessed.
