Sadly I never trained with martinis and Aston Martins long enough to become James Bond. Or even Matt Helms.

OPERATIVE TEST
YOU SCORED: 83.78 %
Top Drawer - congratulations.
It appears that you may have what it takes to become a full service agent. You are clever, knowledgeable and have lightening reflexes.

Not only that, but I know how to spell "lightning."

Sadly scraping the bottom.

I was genuinely upset to get to the end of this test (85.68, BTW) and find out it was just an ad for a James Bond DVD. I knew it wasn't a real Secret Service test, but, an advertisment? Come on!

jonson: perhaps they're using the test to recruit people for the next movie. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

You think you're gonna have enough context to guess in the field?
