Inquiry or Interrogation


The CIA, FBI, KGB, MI-5, are organizations called “intelligence agencies.” Their main purpose is to gather information. This is what spies do for a living.

Here are some tips for a successful inquiry. Reading these tips may help you be a good spy:

  • Time your request.
  • At a busy hour, they may not follow procedures.
  • Introducing yourself will gain you more respect.
  • It may help to drop names.
  • Cover you trail. Do not be too obvious.
  • Introverts may be better at maintaining their character's cover.

Sometimes a friendly conversation isn’t enough. In that case a spy will have to decide if an interrogation is required. Here are some interrogation strategies to keep in mind:

  • If they are lying, ask more questions.
  • Dangle a carrot in front of them.
  • Try a bribe.
  • Try a threat.
  • Success relies on perception and persuasion.
  • Try to convince them that their situation is futile.
  • Torture is a last resort.
