QUALIFICATIONS OF A GOOD DETECTIVE.
1. Indomitable courage and good health.
2. Strict honesty.
3. A fair education. Necessary.
4. A knowledge of languages. Highly desirable.
5. The ability to read men readily. (This is a quality which will improve by practice. It cannot be expected at first.)
6. Perseverance.
7. An agreeable disposition; the ability to make one’s self popular among men.
8. An acquaintance with the methods of changing the facial appearance and arranging disguises. (This is perhaps the hardest thing of all to acquire. Most detectives will not disclose these secrets. The help of a good theatrical costumer, or an actor should be sought. Practice makes perfect—don’t forget that.)
9. Capability of careful thought and the ability to weigh evidence, and not to allow yourself to be deceived by appearances.
10. Caution.
11. Control of the temper.
12. Last, and most important of all, Common Sense.
