Every operative has six core capabilities, or statistics: Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Power, and Charisma.
Each stat has a test score equal to the stat × 5. This means roll five times the stat or less on percentile dice (1D100) to succeed. When your Agent attempts a difficult action and no skill covers it, the Handler may ask you to roll a stat test for whatever stat is the closest fit.
Tip: Distinguishing Features
A stat below 9 or above 12 is exceptional. You can use this to help form a better picture of your character: A person with a low Dexterity might be characterized as "out of shape", while a person with a high Power might be considered "highly motivated".
