REAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS VERIFIED/ ALREADY
GRADED A+
intelligence - ---Answers----Collection, processing and
analysis of information - Both process and product
Intelligence Sources - ---Answers----HUMINT
GEOINT
MASINT
SIGINT
OSINT
Counterintelligence - ---Answers----Identification, assesment,
neutralization and exploitation of intell activities of adversary
Kent´s analytical doctrine - ---Answers----1) Focus on
policmaker concern
2) Avoidance of a personal policy Agenda
3) Intellectual rigor
4) Conscious effort to avoid analytical biases
5) Willingness to consider other Judgements
6) Systematic use of outside expertise
7) Collective responsibility for judgement
,8) Effective communication of policy-support information and
judgements
9) Candid admission of mistakes
Analysis - ---Answers----A detailed examination of the
elements or structure of something.
Data driven analysis - ---Answers----Drawing inferences based
on examination of the intrinsic structure of data.
Requires good datasets and straightforward problems.
Is logically driven and easily replicated.
Conceptually driven analysis - ---Answers----Numerous
unknowns and undefined variables and relationsships.
Often immidiate interpretation of complex concepts.
Accuracy driven by mental models and feedback over time.
Working memory - ---Answers----System that processes
inputs and determines whether or not they are important,
encoding them for long-term or short-term memory storage
Pattern recognition - ---Answers----Cognitive process that
matches information from external sources to information that is
stored in long-term memory.
, Template matching - ---Answers----Every object and
experience is processed by brain and stored as a template in
long-term memory. When presented with situation, long-term
memory is searched for matching template from the past.
Prototype matching - ---Answers----When presented with
situation, long-term memory is searched for AVERAGE or
similiar templates reffered as a "prototype". More flexible then
template matching and better for working with incomplete
information.
Top Down - ---Answers----Using previous knowledge (could be
contextual) to fill in gaps when we do not have complete
information.
System I thinking - ---Answers----Intiutive thinking, fast,
effective, often accurate but prone to errors. Draws on available
knowledge and experience and existing mental modes.
System II thinking - ---Answers----"Analyttical thinking". slow,
methodical and conscious. Involves analytic processes like
scientific method or structured analytical techniques.
Mental Models - ---Answers----System I thinking.
Experience base asumptions and expectations of the way the
world operates
