Could you become a CIA agent too? A psychological test to find out your spy aptitude.
The CIA often appears in movies and manga.
Do you know what kind of organization it actually is? CIA stands for Certified Internal Auditor, which is translated into Japanese as “Kōnin Naibu Kansanin” (Certified Internal Auditor).
Its mission is to collect and analyze information related to national security from around the world.
Since it requires abilities akin to those of a spy, many people may find it appealing.
So this time, we’ve prepared a psychological test to diagnose whether you have an aptitude to be a CIA spy.
Each test is designed to assess spy suitability, so please give them a try!
Could you become a CIA agent too? A psychology test to assess your spy aptitude (1–10)
A psychological test that reveals your aptitude for being a spy based on who appears
This is a psychological test that reveals your potential as a spy based on who appears next to a man sitting on a bench.
Choose intuitively from the options: a beautiful woman, a look-alike man, a small child, or a pigeon.
Depending on your choice, your spy aptitude will be assessed as 23%, 55%, 64%, or 78%.
Even if you’re not interested in the CIA, having a knack for spy-like skills could prove useful in everyday life.
However, please be careful not to misuse it.
A personality test that reveals how tight-lipped you are based on which bouquet you choose
This is a personality test that reveals how tight-lipped you are by choosing which of four bouquets you’d prefer to receive from someone.
If you were captured by the enemy while working as a spy, you couldn’t just blurt out secrets right away, right? Depending on your choice, the result will indicate whether you’re the type who’s considerate of friends and always keeps promises, fairly tight-lipped, someone who ends up spilling the beans when asked, or cheerful but talkative.
Discretion is important in all relationships, not just for spies, so depending on your result, you might want to reflect on yourself a bit.
A psychology test that reveals your level of ruthlessness based on which animal you choose
This is a personality test that reveals your level of ruthlessness by choosing one animal out of four based on your intuition.
To become a CIA agent, there may be times when you need to be ruthless.
Let’s see whether you have that quality.
The animals are shark, hawk, eagle, and cat.
Since it’s important to choose by intuition, pick your answer in about three seconds.
So, how ruthless are you? If you were diagnosed as having a high level of ruthlessness—that is, being less swayed by human sentiment—you might be well-suited for the CIA.
A personality test that reveals how persistent you are based on what you do about a present
This is a psychological test that can diagnose how tenacious you are.
The word “tenacious” might give you a bad feeling, but tenacity simply means having a strong will not to give up.
For those who want to become a CIA agent, isn’t this a crucial quality? There’s someone you’ve had feelings for a long time.
You try to give them a present and confess your feelings, but they turn you down, saying they’re already seeing someone.
How do you make sense of this situation? Choose from four options and check your result.
A personality test that reveals how unshakable you are in just 10 questions
This is a psychological test that reveals how unflappable you are by answering 10 questions.
Answer each question with Yes or No, and your result will be determined by the number of Yes answers.
The outcome will be classified into one of the following levels: 10%, 50%, 80%, or 100%.
When working as a spy, you may face unexpected troubles or dangers, and how well you keep your composure in those moments can be a matter of life and death.
Of course, this is also an essential skill in ordinary jobs, so feel free to use the results as a reference.
A personality test that reveals your level of patience based on where you are
This is a personality test where, by looking at a mountain illustration and choosing where you are within it, you can find out your level of patience.
Choose intuitively from four options: the summit, a valley near the summit, the foot of the mountain, or the mountainside.
Depending on your choice, your patience will be assessed at 20%, 40%, 70%, or 85%.
Even if you manage to infiltrate as a spy, success won’t necessarily come right away.
The ability to quietly endure until an opportunity arises is useful not only for spies but in many other situations as well, so why not use this as a reference?
A personality test that reveals your decisiveness based on which costume you choose
This is a psychological test that reveals your decisiveness based on the costume you choose to wear to a costume party you’re attending for the first time at a friend’s invitation.
Which of the four would you pick: a suspicious-looking masked witch, a medieval noblewoman, a Heian-era aristocrat, or a currently trending celebrity? Depending on your choice, you’ll be categorized as one of the following: the type who decides quickly and moves on; the steadfast type whose finishing move is a rapid decision; the deliberative type who persists and thinks things through to the end; or the pattern of running out of time because “this and that both seem good.” Being able to act immediately when pressed to make a decision in a tight situation is an important skill for a spy.
It’s also important in everyday life, but be careful—making decisions without thinking things through can be problematic.
