The KGB also distributed a secret personality questionnaire, advising case officers what to look for in a successful recruitment operation. In April 1985 this was updated for prominent figures in the West. The directorates aim was to draw the target into some form of collaboration with us. This could be as an agent, or confidential or special or unofficial contact.
The form demanded basic detailsname, profession, family situation, and material circumstances. There were other questions, too: what was the likelihood that the subject could come to power (occupy the post of president or prime minister)? And an assessment of personality. For example: Are pride, arrogance, egoism, ambition or vanity among subjects natural characteristics?
The most revealing section concerned kompromat. The document asked for: Compromising information about subject, including illegal acts in financial and commercial affairs, intrigues, speculation, bribes, graft
and exploitation of his position to enrich himself. Plus any other information that would compromise the subject before the countrys authorities and the general public. Naturally the KGB could exploit this by threatening disclosure.
Finally, his attitude towards women is also of interest. The document wanted to know: Is he in the habit of having affairs with women on the side?
