Would you pass the Citizenship Test?

I just read an article that did a study on 1000 natural born citizens. The study conducted tested to determine how many American Citizens could actually pass the Citizenship Test. For those of us who haven't a clue about the citizenship test, here's a little breakdown. Basically, its a test used to determine whether potential immigrants will be granted citizenship in America. 10 question are taken at random from a larger test comprised of history, civics, rights, and American Government questions. 



Read Full Article Here

Of the 1000 people tested, 38% failed. Thats right, 38% of the American's born in America, tested in this study, FAILED the US Citizenship Test. WTF!!!!!!!! Here is the scary part; you are asked 10 questions randomly selected, and only have to get 6 right in order to pass. Whats the Problem? 


So I took the test, and am proud, or not so proud, to admit that I only got one wrong. (The question I got wrong  was "Who was President during WWI? Woodrow Wilson in case you didn't know). 

So have a look at the test and see how you would fair. Be sure to come back here and let me know how you did.
