Your Mission If You Choose To Accept It…
Greetings potential applicant!
First, I cannot confirm nor deny that I am a secret agent. But let’s just say, hypothetically speaking, that if I was, I might be looking for a secret agent partner. So let’s just run with that…
As all great partners do, we would, of course, need to have great chemistry — often able to tell what the other is thinking with only so much as a wink and a smile. Or maybe a twitchy eyebrow and a crazy & totally inappropriate cackle (or is that just me?). But if mind reading doesn’t work, then talking is always a good “Plan B” (note, a good agent always has a “Plan B”).
This partner I am (hypothetically!) looking for would be smart, open minded & have a great sense of humor (in fact, she might be wearing a smile right now!). She would also have an inclination towards adventure and the (quite possibly unrealized) desire to live a remarkable life.
Trust me, dull & boring is overrated! Momma always said, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” Then she packed up, left home, and we never saw her again (Ok, that’s not true!).
So now that I just lied to you (It’s ok, it’s part of the test, you’ll see), it’s important to note that trust, honesty & good communication between secret agents is vital. Additionally, quick wits & independent thinking definitely come in handy, too! As do catchy one liners like, “Chill out” just before you spill ice-water on a bad guy.
And if you are skilled at witty banter, and if witty banter actually weighed anything, then witty banter would definitely be worth its weight in gold. But it doesn’t, so it isn’t, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t desirable!
As an active agent, you’ll need to be in fair physical condition to keep up. If you’re not in fair physical condition, then the idea of getting in shape probably appeals to *part of you (*the out of shape part!).
Though, technically, if you’re fair game for having fun, you don’t have to be an “athlete”, or even very coordinated really (you might just be the “comedic sidekick” that everyone laughs at, I mean with!, when you trip!).
Being the adventurous type, you probably take pleasure in having new experiences, learning new skills, or occasionally doing things differently. If you’ve ever ordered dessert first, breakfast for dinner, taken the long way home (on purpose), or turned down a road just to see where it led to, that qualifies!
And in whatever setting or circumstances you find yourself, you’re quite likely to stay positive, solution-oriented, and make the most of what you have (the secret agent term for that is “resourceful”). And you mustn’t cry (much) when I always beat you at boardgames. To quote Tom Hanks, “There’s no crying in”…boardgames. (Yes, secret agents play boardgames).
Your Secret Agent Aptitude Test results (you took your SAATs, right?) probably indicate that you enjoy the occasional formal function as well as appreciate traveling to both local & exotic destinations.
The results also probably show that you’re thoughtful, affectionate & considerate of others. And you likely appreciate spontaneity, creativity, and nice surprises.
Sure, you might think I was absolutely crazy for putting the bed in front of the TV in the living room & pretending “we’re at a hotel!” for a night, but you’d also find it cute, funny & fun and would probably be willing to play along. Except, now that I’ve mentioned it, it would have to be something totally different (but equally interesting).
And finally, while having a fair number of things in common is great, it’s actually our differences and combined skills that help us grow & learn from each other (as well as help get us out of predicaments).
Sooooo… hypothetically speaking, if I was looking for a partner, and if you found this somewhat amusing, intriguing, or appreciate originality or creativity, then you’d probably want to get in touch (as this profile was written just for you).
