The Qualities Required Intelligence Corps units are small.
Many operators work alone, or in small teams separated from their parent headquarters.
This demands special qualities of self discipline, reliance and initiative, to make up for the support which would normally be at hand in a conventional Army environment. We need young men and women who not only possess well developed qualities of leadership but who also have analytical ability, judgement, scholarship and imagination. They have to be convincing, accurate, confident, trustworthy, discreet, and require a strong personality, integrity, intellect, tact, dogged determination and patience.
