I often visit your site and I have came across your skill test about what it takes to be a private eye. I have done it and my score was over 100! But I thought that it is very easy to guess its answers, they are quite obvious. I have no intention to be a private eye, but I’m curious to know if, scoring 100+, I would have been selected by you. Nunzia. ?

My dear and cheeky (in a good way) Nunzia,

the on-line test is just a game to amuse our site visitors; it provides just a rough idea of what you might have to go through, if our organisation took into consideration having you in our team.

The real test, which the new members of our team have to do, has 600 questions to be answered in a limited time. Only those who have been approved in two previous interviews, and have filled in some forms do this test.

So, just relax and carry on doing our on-line tests for fun (there are also some others for "bad surprises prevention”).

These tests give you only a general idea; however, a 100+ score is nothing to write home about, and you must have had a few wrong answers, although they are quite obvious, as you noticed yourself.

Your critical view and a bit of healthy mistrust transpire from your message, apart from a daring attitude. However, prudence, capacity to never undervalue other people, as well as diplomacy are also needed.

Thank you for dropping me a line and for authorising us to publish your views. Best regards.
