CIA Posts Silly Online Personality Test (Help Wanted)
Edited on Sat Nov-25-06 02:18 PM by NVMojo
WASHINGTON (AP) -

The CIA has scrapped its ho-hum test that steered job applicants toward mysterious careers and devised one that's cloaked in jest.

Invisibility or ESP? Jet pack or amphibious sports car? Walk the Great Wall of China or sip Champagne at a New York gala?

The results from the CIA's personality quiz are just a few clicks away, diagnosing test takers as daring thrill-seekers, thoughtful observers, curious adventurers, innovative pioneers or impressive masterminds.

The CIA wants to hire them all.

The agency's online personality test is the equivalent of a help-wanted sign, posted on the closest thing the agency has to a front door - its Web site. The frivolous quiz is designed to encourage job applications while dispelling myths about the agency, some of them born of the James Bond stereotype.

4. They ought to have Faux Noose broadcast a special program so that
viewers can take the test. Maybe they can borrow ass-twit Stossel from NBC to host the show.

9. I'd like to sign up but,..
Killing people or supporting government sponsored terrorism (ie:false flag operations) are not something I'd like to be a part of.
