About This Quiz

Are you ready to be in the FBI? Well not just in the FBI, but accepted as a special agent?  Are you fearless, analytical, and brilliant? Oh, and do you look good in a suit? The FBI is the investigative arm of the Department of Justice, and if you're thinking about having a career in law enforcement, it is the cream of the crop. Among many other things, the FBI works to stop terrorism, corruption, organized crime, cybercrime, and civil rights violations: it also investigates serious crimes such as major thefts or murders. One thing is for sure if you're doing something that is against the law, the last people you want to see knocking at your door are a bunch of FBI agents.

How do you think you would do if you were to take a test to see if you were able to be a special agent? This is one test you probably don't want to cheat on: if the FBI can catch bad guys all over the world, the odds are they can figure out if you're cheating on their employment admissions test. Are you ready to uphold the words "Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity"? Take this quiz to find out whether you're FBI material.
