Personnel Today

Have you got what it takes to be an MI5 Spook?

by Personnel Today 19 Mar 2004
by Personnel Today 19 Mar 2004

With
the Government looking for 1,000 extra intelligence officers, have you ever
wondered whether you have what it takes to be a real-life James Bond?

Personnel
Today has teamed up with psychometric testing experts Personality Assessment Solutions
to devise a test that will identify the traits needed to work for MI5.

We
have studied the websites of MI5 to find the personality traits and behaviours
associated with success in the Security Service.

We
then related the results to The Big Five Personality Model, and created a short
psychometric test to measure them.

Our
short personality test should replicate the challenge faced by the MI5
personnel team, and help identify the budding secret agents of the HR world.

Although
we can’t promise successful candidates an actual job at MI5, we’ve got the next
best thing. The person with the closest match to a secret service recruit can
either enjoy a BMW driving experience at Rockingham race course, or be pampered
like a Bond girl on a deluxe spa day.

Have
you got what it takes? Then take the test at www.testsonthenet.com/mi5.htm
