What is Intelligence 101 & Who is it for?

By Ben Stark on November 12, 2016 0

Welcome to the world of Intelligence.

This Blog is designed with you in mind. The purpose (as the title might suggest), is to provide you with an introduction to intelligence.

Throughout this blog we have broken down the essential information you need to know to quickly and easily learn about the theory, practice, and procedures of intelligence with one goal in mind…

To Make You A Better Intelligence Analyst

This blog is ideal for students of intelligence. So whether you’re studying, interested in learning more about ‘how intelligence works’, or already working in the field and keen to develop your skills as an intelligence analyst, this is the place for you.

Throughout my career as an intelligence analyst, I remember feeling overwhelmed at times, at just how much I was expected to know, and how quickly I was expected to know it!

At times I remember thinking ‘I wish there was a guide’, or some type of resource for intelligence analysts to use and refer to.

Eventually, I built my own knowledge and understanding by annoying others with questions and slowly piecing everything together myself.

While I still advocate asking others for help, this blog is designed to equip you with relevant (and required) information to develop your skills to become a successful intelligence analyst.

So, to those just starting out or others actively interested in increasing your knowledge, let this blog be your guide.

It is our intention that this site will be used to build your skills and knowledge, and as a resource well into your career in intelligence.

…I leave you with this parting thought from Socrates;

“I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing.”
