Report to The Agency: Myers-Beagle Doggynality Profiler ready.
As requested in your communiqué of this past summer, C1 and I have been busy preparing the new Myers-Beagle Doggynality Profiler for new agents. As you point out, it is important that The Agency is able to asses that sort of dog it hires to become agents for Her Majesty’s Corgis – especially those absent-minded Cardigan Welsh who are forever getting stuck under HRH’s Landrover.
I am happy to be able to report that we have completed the final testing, and herewith deliver the instrument.
There are, as you know, four pairs of character traits in most agents: barking/cowering, sulking/wagging, sniffing/whining and begging/stealing. In order to conduct the test we set out 16 pairs of bowls with 16 different kinds of dog-food. Each candidate has to pick one or the other of each pair. The interactions of these selections with each dog allow us to see which selection is most favoured – or “dominant.” We can then use the comparison scale that will show if a dog is obedient, wilful, brave or scared, able to down-stay or likely to fidget, a treat-beggar or a sneak-thief, and so on, ending with a complete and accurate doggynality profile for the potential agent. For example, a dog who is obedient, scared, fidgety and a sneak-thief would be a OSFS. A dog who is wilfil, brave, downstay and treat-beggar would be a WBDT.
I am certain of the accuracy of the test because both C1 and I scored as OBDS which makes us obedient, brave, able to downstay and sneak-thieves, which, as you know, are the best possible traits to have in agents.
I will send you the complete testing material by the next mail.
As always
Faithfully yours.
