Your mission is to uncover your spy superpowers. SPYSCAPE worked meticulously with the expert authors of The Psychology Of Spies And Spying - a former Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) Head of Training and a top psychology professor - to develop 10 unique spy personality profiles. Each profile offers a rare and authentic insight into the motivations and mindset of real-life operatives. Which spy role matches your personality type? Explore your inner spy now, only at SPYSCAPE.
Special Forces
Like Jason Bourne, Special Forces operatives excel at intelligence, physical challenges, and surprises. SF officers are often adventurous, reward-seeking, and daring yet they are not gung-ho or rash. They thrive on ‘hot risk’ and must engage in physically stimulating situations while maintaining their nerve and taking measured decisions. Find out if you’ve got what it takes.
If you’ve watched Charleston Tucker (Katherine Heigl) in State of Affairs, you’ll know sharp-minded CIA Analysts ‘speak truth to power’. They evaluate and process secrets and sources while producing accurate, concise, and well-written reports on anything from insurrections to invasions. Do you have what it takes to brief the President?
A rare insight into the world of the intelligence services
“A serious and thoughtful discussion of the world of secret intelligence, at a time of rapid technological and political change” Sir John Scarlett, Chief, MI6
Russian sleeper agent Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) often performs a Tech Ops Officer’s job on The Americans. Cool and composed under fire, he collects intelligence in direct but stealthy ways. TOOs are observant and experimental, willing to keep up to date with technical changes or the latest developments in disguise. And if you’re a boffin like 007’s ‘Q’, you’ll also want to pay close attention.
Like Cryptologists, Hackers are usually very intelligent. They are typically super-bright code-breakers, program writers, and statistical modelers. They break through passwords to read data and pay close attention to detail as their work is heavily dependent on exploiting the opposition’s powerful computers. After all, as Mr. Robot’s Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) says, “We’re all living in each other’s paranoia.”
When George Clooney was preparing to play a Case Officer in Syriana, he went to a Middle East expert for advice: someone we at SPYSCAPE know well, CIA operative Robert Baer. Case Officers meet, cultivate, recruit, and manage foreign spies who steal intelligence for their handlers. The job requires significant powers of charm and persuasion. Could you circle carefully, seeking a loyal spy who’d risk their life to work for you - even if they didn’t know it quite yet?

It takes logic and cunning to run a spy ring. Spymasters or ‘Directors’ - much like ‘M’ in the James Bond films - assess risks and prioritize tasks and targets. They report to political powers but they work with colleagues from a range of roles including Special Forces, Surveillance Officers, and Intelligence Ops Officers like Moneypenny. Spymasters also need to be able to admit that things sometimes fail - not always easy for people with superior intelligence. Do you have the mettle to take charge?
