But to paraphrase Heinlein said in Starship Troopers: a person who voluntarily serves places the welfare of his country/community before his self interest, for him would be the first prerequisite of being a citizen, i.e. a voter. The only thing I didn't check was if I had ever demonstrated peacefully.
I got a 59, which utterly astonished me as I was guessing wildly for most of the Supreme Court Justices, and didn't put anything for the civic participation questions (I'm something of a recluse; voting is pretty much the extent of my participation in the community). I suspect 23 years in the Army biased the scoring and then some.
