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!

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!
