Take the Citizenship Test - Are You a Model Citizen?

I'm not one to turn down taking a quiz, and I was anxious to take a sample U.S. Citizenship Test to prove to myself that I'm a good citizen--as least as far as knowing about our country including our laws and our history. I took multiple tests until I answered all the questions correctly--on the third try. However, things fell apart when I expanded the exercise and took the test to find out if I was a good global citizen.

Here is my first test.




You Passed the US Citizenship Test



Congratulations - you got 9 out of 10 correct!

Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

They didn't tell me what I missed, so I moved on to another one with higher hopes. Here is my second try using a different test but with the same result.

U.S. Citizenship Test: Could You Pass?
Way to Go! You got 10/11 correct.

Not being a quitter, I took an even different test and passed with 100% correct. As it states, I am a model citizen!

PBS Citizenship Test
Your Score: 10 out of 10  Congratulations! You're a model citizen.

See! "I am the very model of a modern major-citizen!"

Getting confident, I took the next step and took a quiz to find if I was a model global citizen, too! How could I miss? I'm a model citizen for the greatest country on Earth, so that makes me a shoe-in for the world. But, it didn't go so well.

Global Citizenship Quiz
Quiz Completed: You answered 3 questions correctly out of 10.

What! Well, what I found was that I didn't understand the formula for answering questions. That's not fair, because I didn't know that to be a model global citizen that I had to answer questions in a way so as to put down the U.S., and that answers for world problems were the highest numbers--like the number of people afflicted with disease or the dollars spent on weapons instead of peace. I could have gotten those had I subscribed to and could read French newspapers. I'm not going to embarrass myself and tell you how I did on the "Peace Quiz."

Anyway, you may want to try one of the quizzes and find out if you're a model U.S. citizen, like me. (As a hint, before you start, be sure that you know the year the Constitution was adopted.) If you are curious or you've just slipped past the border patrol and want to become a U.S. citizen, here's the official government site for a self-test.

Now, I'm going to try the Environmental Quiz. I hope they have something on global warming, because I know everything about that from two posts earlier. I'm sure to be a Model Environmentalist!

Was gonna take the "Environmental Quiz" but could NOT force myself past the subliterate "Global climate has increased by..."

Quiz was obviously prepared by Speech-Impaired Piscines. We have exactly the same "amount" of "climate" now as always. The question had temperature changes offered for answers. Cluebat for Enviro-Whacko Speech-Impaired Piscines: temperature and climate are not equivalent or synonymous terms.

*sigh*

I got 5 correct out of ten for the global test and 7 correct on the Brit's test. Got all in the USA tests except in one test I blew a gasket on the presidential succession. Doh!

One question for all of you. It is now November 2nd. What date was this post initiated? Or does the poster (name wasn't included) have a time machine?

Oyster, you did well on the tests!

To answer your question, I published this post just after midnight in the early morning of October 4--less than a month ago. A problem showing the author's name has been fixed.

I'm not sure what you mean about having a time machine.

Doh! I could have sworn it said November 4th!
