Could you be a US Citizen?

[Godwynn]

95%

I missed the INS form one, probably because I don't have to ever worry about it.

 

[Zarn]

I guessed on the INS form and got it right, giving me 100%

 

[aaglo]

I got 50% - not american.

I mean... "what bill (or whatever) gives you the right to participate in elections..."?

I hope all the answers are given in some nifty booklet given to immigrantees.

Bright day
85 per cent. Though if I wanted to be US citizen I would have just said yes to the army recruiter.

 

[Kozmos]

50% I phailed.....badly.

Yeah, those guys are everywhere, aren't they. Sucking in manpower, from every corner of the world. I knew they were all over the entire Pacific, & also Latin America, but I didn't realize they had much of a presence in the EU.

I passed, btw. Whoop-t-do.

I'm from Singapore. Do you still accept Soviet defectors?

You'd go through a screening process to ensure you are fit for service and 'meet the moral and ethical standards', but otherwise yeah - the USMC and Army recruit non-citizens from the entire Pacific region all the time. Especially nowadays, heck you might even get a signing bonus.

The recruiters are like stock brokers - all they care about is meeting/exceeding their quotas. The higher the number, the better it reflects on them. They'll put an illegal alien from Mexico that doesn't speak a word of English into Marine Corps bootcamp (...I know, from experience).

They do all the time. ALL the time. People might be surprised if they knew how much 'foreign manpower' is serving with the US Army, and Marine Corps.

It can be a path to better things...

Canada is better anyway.

Question six is now a smidge inaccurate. When they were first introduced and passed by Congress, there were twelve amendments in the Bill of Rights. The first 10 amendments that everybody knows as the Bill of Rights passed pretty much immediately by enough States so they were ratified right away.

However, one of the other two was just finally ratified by the necessary majority of States a few years ago and became the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. It didn't have a seven year clause built into it, so it was able to hang in limbo for over 200 years. So, in actuality, the Bill of Rights are Amendments 1-10, and 27.

EDIT: You answered 95% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be.

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

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

I missed number 19 about which INS form is used by naturalized citizens.

 

[jamiethearcher]

95% - I didn't know the correct form for naturalization

 

[IglooDame]

95% and the naturalization form tripped me up, just like everybody else.

 

[Dragonlord]

I only have intolerance for stupid beliefs. You can disagree with U.S. pubic policy without being an asinine, America-hating fanatic.

Bolding by me...

Right!


And I had 90%.... not bad for a German, eh?

 

[Tycoon101]

Got 60%. I admit, I'm ignorant. But I would have failed RMSharpes' test too-

Question 7: Are all Americans stupid, overweight hicks that don't understand the outside world?

[X] Yes *
[_] No

Not all, but too many.

 

[Mirc]

5% for me. I knew the answer randomly for one of the questions.

 

[Gladi]

Nah, I studied in States for a year. Did make a mistake of actually listening and was thus getting brochures in mail for rest of my stay.

 

[Methos]

90%

I failed the INS question and got the quote wrong. I was thinking it was Franklin.

 

[Mirc]

I don't think anyone got a worse score than mine!

 

[dutchfire]

75%, not that bad really.

 

[Eukaryote]

I'm not an American, I got a 55%.
