the tests: Morrsby tests. Created in WWII by the British Govt to work out if you'd make a good secret agent behind enemy lines.. .. .Included in them was a very simple mechanical aptitude section, some basic maths, a bizaire section were you had to write as many letter 'S's as possible in a minute, then repeat the process, this time writing the letter backwards (i.e. a figure '2'). .. .Strangest of all was been given a series of random straight lines on a page and the task was to add in a couple of lines to make it into something recognisable. One lad came up with a hangman's noose, and another drew a swastika!. .. .I have 150hrs, IMC & Night. Not heard anything back yet (!)
