In the citizenship exam

[Jacobtm]

In the citizneship exam, they ask a series of personal questions:

Have you ever been a terrorist? A prostitute? A drug dealer? A communist? A Nazi?

Obviously, a ''yes'' answer raises a red flag.

Another such question is ''Have you ever advocated the overthrow of any government by force or violence?''

I have to assume ''no'' is the expected answer.

Though I wonder what might happen if you said, ''Yes, but only in Nicaragua, Chile, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.''

Just finished this citizenship test here:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0104/Could-you-pass-a-US-citizenship-test/Who-signs-bills

Got 85 out of 96 questions right.

The questions that I didn't get right:

How many amendments does the Constitution have?
When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?
What does the Constitution do?
When is the last day you can send in federal income tax forms?
What happened at the Constitutional Convention?
Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers.
What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?
When was the Constitution written?
What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?
What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for?

Actually, in the exam you only need to answer 6 of 10 questions correctly. The interviewer just chooses 10 at random. The bulk of the interview is taken up by personal questions, which can last for about 20 minutes.

They still ask if you're a member of the Communist Party? Jesus Christ.

Probably not on the real exam.  It's probably a question from old test books.

No, it's the real exam.

They not only ask if you're a Communist, but even if you've been a Nazi during the '30s or '40s.

It's batty.
