This kind of reminds me of that libertarian quiz floating around online where no matter what your responses are you're assured you have a future in the libertarian party.

2. Thoughtful observer.
For the record, I expected the CIA personality test to be a little more, um, substantial. Apparently they're trying to recruit morons.

61. Who else would take the job?
Secret renditions, torture, drug smuggling, overthrowing democracies.....these things don't appeal to decent people able to get real jobs. Most of us just don't like repressing others.

And for my first innovation I will do away with the CIA. I think we should outsource the work. The KGB has a great track record.

12. Daredevil Risktaker here. OK, I did skew my answers just a bit.
Anything that required physical exertion and climbing, I answered yes.

Although, on the last question, I said others would consider me a nerd. I actually thought it would be a base answer to my acid answers.

I guess the quiz is really tilted for anyone who's willing to go rock climbing :shrug: MKJ

21. You can take it multiple times....
...try to figure out what combination will deliver each of the "personality types." Incidentally, that's code breaking in a nutshell and if you do that you're more suited toward life up at Ft. Meade than McLean.

26. Geez. Am I the only one paranoid about clicking on a CIA page & leaving my electronic tracks?
While taking a "personality" test?!?! Is it just me that thinks this is not necessarily a very good idea?

Am I just an overly paranoid old hippie? :shrug:

39. Well, sure. But why jump up & wave at them?
"YOO HOO! Over here! Look at ME!"

I assume all our databases are constantly being added to, with certain types of activities "flagged" with extra points. Once a certain number of points are accumulated, the database sorts you into another catagory for closer monitoring.

I'm just not into calling unnecessary attention to myself. But as I said, I may just be overly paranoid...

if the test is as moronic as Skinner says then what the hell are they putting it out there for. Don't need to "jump up and wave" at them either!

59. This quiz is propaganda aimed at children
The point of it is to mimic all the gajillion little personality tests teens like to post on their blogs, and promote the idea that the CIA (:spray: excuse me!) are your friends, and not so very sinister after all...
