Citizenship Test

Do you think you could pass a citizenship test?

I only missed the first one. For some reason, I thought the answer was Madison, not Jefferson. Oops. I get all the various documents and everything the Founders wrote mixed up a lot of the time, but now I'll probably remember that one. But even so, if I wasn't already a citizen, I'd pass this.

Heh, thanks, Silver.

I didn't remember most of that stuff apparently. Only scored 40% correct. Wasn't aware they'd upped the number of representatives and Supreme Court justices... and apparently I'm very rusty on all aspects of the Constitution aside from the fairly easy to remember "right to keep and bare arms" part. And Susan B. Anthony, all this time I had just assumed she'd been the linguistics interpretor for the previous dollar coin inhabitant... guess she's one of the many people left out of the history text books.

I missed 6, so I received 70%. Not too bad, considering history was never one of my strongest subjects. I had to guess on a few of them, like the Chief Justice.

HAHA! I got 35%. That's okay though, I'm happy enough being Canadian.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

My answer to their question, "not really" but don't take it personally.

Hilariously, I scored 90% on this quiz, missing only the number of US representatives (which I overestimated; c'mon, the more the merrier!) and the name of the Chief Justice. Since I'm not a US citizen and haven't attended a history class since I was fourteen, it just goes to show what sheer guesswork and American television can achieve. Given that I'm not usually a good guesser, due credit must go to HBO for John Adams and Aaron Sorkin for The West Wing.

In case it isn't obvious from my first name, I'm Indian.

Lol well I got 45%. Kind of a shame really but I can honestly say that this part of history bored me to tears in school so I didn't pay attention too much. It's funny to me because History, along with English, was one of my better subjects.
