language proficiency & testing

[tunlrat]

Anyone know what "alphabet soup" Fed agencies test for language proficiency? I know FBI is one. :confused:

USBICE tests for spanish.

Generally, any agency that pays you more for the skill will test for it.

The way it was put to me: if you put any language profieciency on your application, you better be fluent in it.

Hence, even though I've had a year of arabic (junior high) and three years of french (junior high + high school), it probably would be harmful for me to place it on an application unless I could at least read/write it without fault (my accent and slaughtering of either may be reason for war).
