I got an 80%. I missed the adoption date of the Declaration of Independence, # of amendments to the constitution, presidential eligibility, and # of Reps. in congress.

I got 95% I just missed the answer to question #19.
Regardless, I don't see how knowing the answer to any of those questions would make you a good citizen.

90%. Chalk me up as not knowing exactly what all 27 Constitutional amendments do by number... (And I got lucky on what the Naturalization form's bureaucratic name was; It was a good guess.)

Most people just remember the first, the second, the fifth, the thirteenth, the nineteenth and the twenty-first. They're the most important one's that give freedom. Of course the first and the thirteenth are the most important of all. They are the kings of amendments in my view.

What we should do is set up some sort of moral test when the person is not expecting it. The tester is a person the testee has never met before. At some random time the tester runs up to the testee and asks for some act of kindness. "My daughter is sick and needs medicine," something like that. Then at another random time a tester enounters a testee and offers for him to participate in some sort of crime or immoral act "hey man, will you hold this kilo of coke for me till monday? there's a thousand bucks in it for you." You must pass both tests.

Well it does say quite a bit. We are american citizens by birth, we are all productive and not criminals. So if any of us do bad on such a test it's obviously not a test that is a good determiner of a productive or law abiding citizen.
I would bet Ted Kazinski would score 100% on the test easy.

being a good citizen does not mean you know all the tiny facts. why that is like saying rolling in the flag is patriotism.

It's like the bums in town that go to bars all the time, beat their kids and hang flags on their stoops. Like hanging up the flag makes them a good citizen. pfff,
