It's not easy to find good spies, but the Australian Secret Intelligence Service has figured out a unique way to recruit some strong applicants.
The country's equivalent of the CIA launched an online interactive test that uses a series of exercises to assess if someone will make a good spy.
Among the tasks in the test are recognizing a pattern, picking faces out from a crowd, remembering information and paying close attention to detail.
If you pass, you're given a code to use in your application for the job. If you do get that far, while you might be excited, part of the job of a spy is discretion, so it's probably best to not post the news on social media.
Aced the ASIS test. But then, I assume automatically failed by tweeting about it https://t.co/Wkazh7rMif #nailedgettingtheupgrade #janebond pic.twitter.com/5BnMHXLcKA
