The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a venerable place in the history of U.S. law enforcement. (And a few dark spots, many of them thanks to a guy named J. Edgar Hoover). The FBI also fascinates Hollywood -- a great many screenwriters have made FBI agents the protagonists of their crime thrillers. Often, these characters are troubled, with dark pasts. Other times, they're shining ideals, righteous and energetic, with untroubled consciences. And some even investigate the paranormal -- hey, everyone loves "The X-Files," even if we know there's no such subdivision at the FBI!
Speaking of "The X-Files," a side effect of Hollywood's interest in the FBI is that TV and movies have perpetuated some misperceptions about the Bureau and the work it does. You might have absorbed a few of these fallacious ideas. Oh, you don't think so? Well, we've created a quiz that'll gauge whether you know what it takes to get into the FBI, and about the training you'd do there, and the work after that. Of course, the FBI admission process includes a background check, a fitness exam and other practical steps we can't include here. But, like the written FBI exam, we'll test you with some logic puzzles and some ethical dilemmas. Then, to keep things fresh, we include questions about the history and the duties of the FBI. You'll have to know a lot to get through this quiz in a speedy seven minutes -- are you up to the challenge?
