Why Deductionists Make Great Super-Spy

Practicing deduction naturally makes you a good super-agent. In this blog, there are some characteristics that can be applied to become a super-agent, but feel free to see if they can be helpful in anywhere else.

Why Deductionists make great super-agent.

1. Intelligence

Deductionists are smart, always pay attention and looking to deduce from people and events around us. In fact, we practice this art every day and it’s almost become our spider sense. There are times that it’s tickling, we know something is out of the order, and we look for clues.

This ability can be crucial for a spy because it is essential to read the situation and act accordingly.

2. Being Stealthy

We observe on the daily. We deduce daily. We know what means what. As ones are aware of all these signs, it will be under their mercy to decide if they want to show, hide or fake it.

If you’re a super-spy, you don’t want people to know that you’re a super-agent. If you’re a deductionist, nobody will know where you came from if you don’t want to.

3. Collecting information

This is an immediate advantage to being observant. You know what to look for. You know what is out of the ordinary. You know all the observation techniques to study something.

More than just observing with eyes, we listen, we smell, we feel. All the time! Our senses are so enhanced compared to normal people that when we coupled it with our great memory, no information will be left untouched.

And obviously, what’s one of the most important jobs of a spy? Collecting intel.

4. Going undercover, be a chameleon

Deductionists go undercover all the time. Nobody goes around and showoff: “Hey, I’m Sherlock Holmes”, not even Sherlock himself. That’s Dr. Watson’s job.

Even though, a lot of you will describe themselves as introvert and don’t have social skills, it will be easy to replicate others.

By observing others, with the observation skills, you’ll know what clothes people wear, what sentences people use, what actions do peole take.

With a little bit of confidence that all super-agents need to have, you’ll be a chameleon in no time.

5. Questioning techniques

Don’t worry if you don’t want to torture people for and answers because we can do it more delicately than that. We need to ask the right questions without raising suspicion.

You will have pieces of a big puzzle about the ultimate information that you want to have at the end. And what’s the detective job already? Solving mysteries.

Using the maze theories, reverse engineering the process. You want an answers, you know what questions can raise suspicion, you know all the possibilities of combination of answers. Now you just need to ask the questions.

6. Being classy

When you think about Super-agent, you think about James Bond. When you think about detective, you think about Sherlock Holmes.

Even though, some Sherlock shows like to present him as something else, I’d like you to read the original Sherlock, the first story, A Study in Scarlet. You’ll have a different picture of Sherlock Holmes as someone who is quite polite and classy.
