The British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) put up an online test for anyone interested in becoming an Operational Officer. You are asked to memorize your cover story, and answer 8 questions posted below.

This is not an official assessment, but it says the results should tell you something about your suitability. The Secret Intelligence Service has been trying to find and recruit Britain's most talented people. The quiz was designed to make the service seem more accessible, and shake off the agency's old Oxbridge image.

Cover Story:

You're stationed in Transeuratania. You're a vegetarian and the food isn't especially good in Metropoligrad - unlike the coffee, which costs less than a Shilling for a pot at the best hotel. Your name is Stephanie Johnson. You were born on 14th December 1974 in Skegness. At A Level, you gained an A in Geography, an A in French and a B in Economics. You have two sisters and a brother. You studied Geology at university and now work as a Management Consultant for a company called British Coal Associates.
