  • b1m2x3, on 09/29/2009, -1/+26wait a second.... an online test that's online!?
    It's a trap!
  • borez, on 09/29/2009, -0/+22Direct link ( without the daily mail ***** ) :

  • doctorpaperclip, on 09/29/2009, -0/+19Something tells me that in the real MI6 you'd have more than two minutes to memorize your cover story.
  • pimpofpixels, on 09/29/2009, -0/+19I don't think I'd fool anybody walking around calling myself 'Stephanie'
  • wonko33, on 09/29/2009, -0/+19What kind of a spy are you if you don't even peek at the answers!!
  • JKAL, on 09/29/2009, -2/+2090% in your little corner of this entire globe, but in Europe, Asia, Africa & Latin America.
    Most people speak 2-3 languages, mostly the country's official language, the navtive language & English.
    that is not including their neighbour country's language. Most Europeans I meet speak 4-5 languages.
  • hyped, on 09/29/2009, -1/+15OMG! an ONLINE test...ONLINE?!?!?!?!! NO WAY!
  • pathouston22, on 09/29/2009, -1/+12And most Europeans live on a continent that has numerous different languages, whereas in North America, 95% of the population speaks either English or Spanish.

    Why should I learn German if in the past 23 years of my life, I never would of used it once because everybody speaks English?
  • Braxo, on 09/29/2009, -0/+11I prefer the Department of Redundancy Department
  • BoobsRPleasant, on 09/29/2009, -0/+9I speak fluent Arabic and I passed the test.

    Now all I need is to parachute into the desert with some Bolivian chick and bang her up against some boulders underground.
  • Crimsonsoul343, on 09/29/2009, -5/+14Question 1: Do you know another language? That would disqualify 90% of the population.
  • Casty, on 09/29/2009, -2/+9I got them all easily. Unless I'm missing something, "Q7" is debatable. The quiz doesn't say if you are married or single. If you are, then your brother's last name would not likely be "Johnson".
  • cfuse, on 09/29/2009, -1/+8Your faith in the public service is charming but misplaced.
  • chadsmith729, on 09/29/2009, -1/+7I feel proud of myself I can memorize 5 basic facts and deduct basic reasoning from the paragraphs.
  • Super6, on 09/29/2009, -0/+4Most euro's I know speak 2 languages, their country's official one and English
  • palanthos, on 09/29/2009, -2/+6Redundant headline is redundant.
  • tegularius, on 09/29/2009, -0/+4Granted, but since you have to be a British national to join MI6 the original point still stands.
  • Pilot85, on 09/29/2009, -0/+4Sweet I scored an 8 when do I get mah gun?
  • BoobsRPleasant, on 09/29/2009, -0/+4"Posted 33 minutes ago"

    Hmmm... That's a lot more than 10 seconds.
  • Pilot85, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3Ah shoot was I not supposed to tell anyone? Crap.
  • ChocChunkOaties, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3talking about yourself in the third person is one of the best ways to stay undetected.
  • JKAL, on 09/29/2009, -2/+5These are all trick questions, the only question would be "what are you doing out of the kitchen?"
  • ohreilly, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3"Most people speak 2-3 languages, mostly the country's official language, the navtive language & English."

    In the UK, where MI6 is, that would be English and English. Unless you're one of those people determined to keep Welsh, Gaelic or Cornish alive.

    Most people (the education system in England anyway) only get taught some basic Spanish/French/German for 2 or 3 years, those choosing to do more can do. Many don't. I can't remember a lot of what I was taught back then (although it'd be nice).
  • InactiveUser, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3I should have added

    This comment was made in china
  • inigomntoya, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2You also sound funny talking in the third person...
  • JKAL, on 09/29/2009, -2/+4@pathouton22
    Only stating facts, it was never mentioned if the facts where good or not.
    or if knowing more languages is good or not, or if makes you better or not, they are just facts.

    Now if the facts make you feel inadequate in some way, that is your issue. No one said you must know more languages, only facts where put there.
  • zuiquan, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2You do realize that most of the population are incapable of this feat, yes?
  • ChocChunkOaties, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2http://digg.com/people/MI6_Reveals_Online_Test_for ...
  • InactiveUser, on 09/29/2009, -1/+3This comment will self destruct in 10 seconds..
  • memper, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2John Johnson
  • Sloi, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/BlueDjinn/1 ...
  • petala, on 09/29/2009, -1/+2@jkal
    This facts you're saying no less than 4 times here in your reply to pathouton22, say, SOURCE? Because most European you met, doesn't exactly sound believable or scream facts. How many Europeans are there? If you at least met 1% of all Europeans in this world in every walk of life not just the educated then maybe this will work. If not, well then, try going out once a while and btw e-penis is just e-penis dude, nothing more.
  • Pilot85, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1boom!
  • BrokenCircle, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1Real spies go through ICP or are recruited out of the DHS/DOD(US) or MOD/FCO(UK).
  • Scotty87, on 09/29/2009, -2/+3Buried for redundant title cause I feel like an ass today... (Cause I failed the quiz)
  • Pelapp, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1.
  • pathouston22, on 09/29/2009, -1/+2Because people love to piss on Americans for only knowing one language.

    Well, people love to piss on America for anything, but that's another story.
  • hereticoftruth, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1However, you might fail if they find out you have sound moral principles. There is much less demand for that skill set today.
  • ChocChunkOaties, on 09/29/2009, -1/+2but you just did.
  • healthbug, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1is this from a new impossible quiz book
  • ampdj89, on 09/29/2009, -1/+2I got 2 wrong...bury me
  • acroyear2, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1That was actually strangely easy.
  • anonymous1986, on 09/29/2009, -1/+1I got 9 out of 8 (an extra point for not bragging about it)
  • inactive, on 09/29/2009, -2/+2Special forces, MI6, secret agents... it's all fun and games until you get caught by the enemy, tortured then executed.

    Question: Was it worth it?

    Would it be worth dying for Bush & Cheneys corrupt foreign ventures? Are you really dying for Britain or the U.S., or are you dying for someones unsanitary political policy?
  • cJw314, on 09/29/2009, -1/+1...online.
  • giz0r, on 09/29/2009, -3/+2Too easy :( 8/8
  • zimok, on 09/29/2009, -6/+1WHO DIGGS THIS ***** ANYWAY?
