Assessment

1. What is the main purpose of intelligence analysis? Collect every possible fact without a question Replace evidence with guesses Turn information into decision-ready understanding Hide uncertainty from decision makers

2. What should a strong intelligence requirement identify? The decision, audience, timeframe, and needed detail Only the analyst's favorite tool A conclusion before evidence is reviewed A reason to ignore the audience

3. What is the difference between source reliability and information credibility? They are always identical Reliability is about formatting, and credibility is about font size Credibility only applies to classified data Reliability describes the source; credibility describes the specific information

4. What is an assumption? A proven fact with direct evidence A gap-filling belief that should be labeled and reviewed A recommendation to take action A source citation

5. Why are timelines and evidence tables useful? They make analysis slower for no reason They replace source evaluation They reveal sequence, gaps, patterns, and provenance They remove the need for judgments

6. What is the purpose of structured analytic techniques? To guarantee perfect certainty To avoid considering alternatives To hide assumptions To improve reasoning by testing assumptions and alternatives

7. What should confidence language reflect? Evidence quality, consistency, relevance, and gaps How dramatic the report sounds The analyst's seniority only Whether the conclusion is popular

8. What should a strong intelligence product do? Bury the conclusion and avoid evidence Present key judgments, evidence, assumptions, confidence, implications, and next steps Mix facts and guesses without labels Remove uncertainty from the report
