The FBI Special Agent Phase I Test is computerized and proctored, with five timed assessments: logic-based reasoning (11 five-option questions), figural reasoning (9 image questions), a personality assessment (100 adaptive paired statements), preferences and interests (37 five-point items) and situational judgment (19 scenarios) (FBI testing overview, revised October 2025). The personality and preferences sections have no right or wrong answers in the usual sense, and the FBI does not publish a passing score. This portal is a study aid: its 40-question practice set covers logic, figural reasoning and situational judgment, and it explains how the other sections work; it is not a realistic score predictor. The FBI does not publish a passing score for Phase I, so this guide does not state one. The practice set here is a study tool, not a prediction of your result.
