BORING!, 2008-12-23
This was one of the most boring books I have read in a long time. Lot's of math - word problems & equations. I suppose if you are into this sort of thing you may find this book somewhat interesting but it is not a book one would read for enjoyment. I had to read it as part of a college course and it was terrible! If you must use it I suggest checking it out from a library - it's not worth the price (no matter what the asking).

Straight from the Intelligence Community... to your bookshelf, 2008-11-23
This book is used by the National Air & Space Intelligence Center in their "Thinker's Toolkit" class. Since the majority of new intelligence analysts employed at the Center do not have lengthy intelligence backgrounds nor in-depth training, these classes are there to bolster their knowledge. This particular class, based on this text, was one of the most popular classes in the instruction series.

My experience with the book was during my graduate studies - it was listed as a primary text along with Robert Clark's "Intelligence Analysis." The exercises within are pertinent and very easy to accomplish. As the back of the book states, learn analysis techniques with nothing more than a pencil and pad of paper.

I'm glad that I read this book, as the exercises can be used in many everyday situations, like deciding what car to buy, or what stocks to pick... instead of relying on the (flawed) human emotional response.

Effective and Simple, 2008-07-08
This is a tremendous asset to those facing decisions where there's been a loss of perspective or too many alternatives exist.

Problem solving for the serious student of effective analysis, 2007-08-23
Complete tools for problem solving; a workbook, not a quick read. Only for the very, very serious.
