INTELLIGENCE


Meaning of INTELLIGENCE in English

in government operations, evaluated information concerning such things as the strength, activities, and probable courses of action of other nations who are usually, but not necessarily, opponents. The goal of every intelligence service is to produce reports consisting of evaluated information that can be given to leaders to help them in their decision making. There are three main steps to producing such reports. It first must be decided what it is that must be known, then information must be gathered, and finally it must be evaluated and analyzed. The first stepdeciding what information to gatherpresents many possibilities. Political intelligencethe most desired informationis perhaps the least tangible, as correct analysis of the political situation in a country can be very difficult. Political intelligence includes everything from information on party organization and ideological rivalries to detailed biographies of all key and even subordinate figures. The next most sought-after intelligence concerns military and technological information. This is known as hard intelligence, for it is readily quantifiable and verifiable (e.g., the number of active troops in Libya), unlike soft political intelligence (e.g., who will form the next government in Bolivia). Also of importance is information regarding economics, social and religious movements, agriculture, climate, and anything else that may bear on the actions of the country. The gathering of intelligence may entail many methods. Contrary to the impression created by spy films, most intelligence comes from open public sources, such as foreign newspapers, radio and television broadcasts, government reports, and scientific and technical journals. Foreign diplomats also provide information. The remaining intelligence is gathered by covert means such as satellites, the deciphering of secret transmissions, and agents in foreign countries. The concept of intelligence is not new. The military treatise Ping-fa (The Art of War), written about 400 BC by the Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu, mentions the use of secret agents and the importance of good intelligence. Knowledge of an enemy's intentions has always been important, and consequently intelligence systems have been in use from ancient times. It was not until the late 18th century, though, that a distinction was made between internal security and the external foreign intelligence functions of a country. It has been suggested that World War I itself was the partial result of poor intelligence, as none of the nations involved had intended to go to war. Such an experience served as a strong lesson, and with rapid developments in technology (especially in electronics and aeronautics), intelligence services grew in the 1920s and '30s and then expanded rapidly during World War II. In the years following came the Cold War, in which global opponents confronted each other with intelligence agencies rather than armies. In the second half of the 20th century, the most prominent intelligence services were the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) of the Soviet Union, Great Britain's MI-5 and MI-6, the DGSE (Direction Gnrale de la Scurit Extrieure) of France, China's Social Affairs Department, and the Mossad of Israel. The major intelligence services of the world can be divided into three basic types: American (used by, for example, Japan and South Korea), Soviet (followed by members of the communist bloc), and British (the model used by many western European countries). During World War II, the chief intelligence service of the United States was the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and it was from the OSS that the CIA was born shortly after the war's end. Although the CIA was designed to facilitate the centralization of American intelligence operations, it is in fact only one member of what is known as the U.S. intelligence community, which includes agencies from the military, along with the State Department, the Department of Energy, the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). While all agencies are theoretically equal, it is the CIA that is the most prominent. The major activities of the CIA since it was founded have been intelligence gathering, counterintelligence, and occasionally, and most controversially, direct intervention in the internal affairs of other countries by covert military operations and other means. The CIA's chief executive is appointed by the president and is the president's primary intelligence adviser. The CIA is divided into four major divisions: operations, science and technology, administration, and intelligence. The operations division has been the area responsible for clandestine activities; the science and technology division keeps abreast of worldwide developments in intelligence and scientific technology; administration is responsible for recruitment, training, and information storage; and the intelligence division gathers information and produces finished reports. The definitive reports produced by this agency are the National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs). Reviewed by the Intelligence Board, and then presented to the president, the NIEs represent the culmination of the CIA's work. Formed in 1954 from preexisting intelligence and security agencies, the Soviet Union's KGB was the direct descendant of the Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka, which was created in 1917. The KGB was in many ways a centralized version of the entire U.S. intelligence community, as it performed the three main functions of intelligence, counterintelligence, and internal security. The KGB was divided into several major directorates, three of which were the First Chief Directorate (which carried out counterintelligence), Second Chief Directorate (responsible for foreign intelligence gathering), and Third Chief Directorate (responsible for internal security, believed to include Smershfrom Russian, smert shpionam, meaning death to spies). After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, the KGB was deprived of much of its former power and came under the control of Russia's elected government. The British intelligence service is characterized by its high level of secrecy. It is divided into the Secret Intelligence Service and the Security Service, which are known by their old wartime designations of MI-6 and MI-5, respectively. Little is known about the inner workings of these services, and this model of secrecy has been emulated by France and other western European nations in their intelligence agencies. in military science, information concerning an enemy or an area. The term is also used for an agency that gathers such information. Military intelligence is as old as warfare itself. Even in biblical times, Moses sent spies to live with the Canaanites in order to learn about their ways and about their strengths and weaknesses. In the American Revolution George Washington relied heavily on information that was provided by an intelligence net based in New York City, and in World War II the results of a lack of good intelligence were realized in the destruction of the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. Today, nations have at their disposal information collection and processing systems that permit gathering and producing intelligence more rapidly and more accurately than ever before. Satellites, ultramodern aircraft, electronic systems, human sources, cameras, imaging and electronic devices, and a host of other systems permit the amassing of information on a scale that was unheard of in the past. ability to adapt effectively to the environment, either by making a change in oneself or by changing the environment or finding a new one. Much of the excitement among investigators in the field of intelligence derives from their trying to determine exactly what intelligence is. Different investigators have emphasized different aspects of intelligence in their definitions. For example, in a 1921 symposium on the definition of intelligence, the American psychologist Lewis M. Terman emphasized the ability to think abstractly, while another American psychologist, Edward L. Thorndike, emphasized learning and the ability to give good responses to questions. In a similar 1986 symposium, however, psychologists generally agreed on the importance of adaptation to the environment as the key to understanding both what intelligence is and what it does. Such adaptation may occur in a variety of environmental situations. For example, a student in school learns the material that is required to pass or do well in a course; a physician treating a patient with an unfamiliar disease adapts by learning about the disease; an artist reworks a painting in order to make it convey a more harmonious impression. For the most part, adapting involves making a change in oneself in order to cope more effectively, but sometimes effective adaptation involves either changing the environment or finding a new environment altogether. Effective adaptation draws upon a number of cognitive processes, such as perception, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving. The main trend in defining intelligence, then, is that it is not itself a cognitive or mental process, but rather a selective combination of these processes purposively directed toward effective adaptation to the environment. For example, the physician noted above learning about a new disease adapts by perceiving material on the disease in medical literature, learning what the material contains, remembering crucial aspects of it that are needed to treat the patient, and then reasoning to solve the problem of how to apply the information to the needs of the patient. Intelligence, in sum, has come to be regarded as not a single ability but an effective drawing together of many abilities. This has not always been obvious to investigators of the subject, however, and, indeed, much of the history of the field revolves around arguments regarding the nature and abilities that constitute intelligence. mental quality that consists of the abilities to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to manipulate one's environment. Although definitions of intelligence vary, theorists agree that it is a capacity or potentiality rather than a fully developed attainment and that it has a biological basis. It is thought of as a combination of the innate characteristics of an individual's central nervous systemwhich are genetically endowedand of developed intelligencewhich is molded by experience and learning. Intelligence can be measured, though imperfectly, by intelligence tests, among them the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler scales. These tests are intended to determine an individual's intelligence quotient (IQ); this was originally calculated according to the relation of mental age to chronological age, but the use of the concept of mental age in assessing IQ scores has been largely discontinued. IQ is now more often assessed on the basis of the statistical distribution of scores. (See intelligence test.) Although high intelligence might seem to guarantee an individual person a high degree of achievement in society, many other factors make long-term predictions unreliable. The mechanisms for turning intellectual ability into social achievement are not fully understood. School achievement tests taken early in life provide a good correlation with IQ tests taken at the same time, but the results cannot predict achievement beyond school age. There is no known method for evaluating innate intelligence. Although the relationship between heredity and environment in the development of intelligence is not fully understood, this relationship has been studied in various ways, including that of examining the individual achievement levels of sets of identical or fraternal twins who are reared apart. It is useful to distinguish between intellectual levelthe single, mass-related test scoreand intellectual patternthe variations each person experiences in specific levels of ability. A person's intelligence level may be 120, but the level of verbal ability, for example, may be far superior to that of the skill used in solving mathematical equations. In addition, individual abilities develop at different rates throughout childhood and up to about age 25, when there is an overall slowing down of intellectual development. It is extremely difficult, therefore, to coordinate intellectual level with intellectual pattern, since IQ tests are designed to reflect general intelligence at the time that the test is taken and do not always take into account either the influence of the cultural and economic milieu or any number of specific intellectual abilities that may not be fully developed. About 1900, psychologists began to develop tests that led to the empirical study of the structure of human intelligence. Later, statistical techniques were applied to the test results, and comparisons made between sample findings helped to evaluate the relative importance of individual abilities to create a comprehensive picture of intelligence. Until about 1950 psychological opinion was divided between those who advocated the concept of a unified intellect and those who favoured the breakdown of intelligence into a range of specific abilities. After the 1950s the work of J.P. Guilford became a major influence in intellectual theory. Guilford broke down the concept of general intelligence into 120 specific abilities classified under three general headings: logical processes, the kinds of information processed, and the products of such processing. These measurement-based studies of the structure of intelligence were supplemented in the 1970s by direct studies of the mental processes underlying intelligence and the way these cognitive processes operate in various environmental contexts. The building of computer models of human cognition and investigations of the biological basis of intelligence in the brain are other promising approaches to understanding human intelligence. Increasingly, intellectual level has been correlated with environmental influences, particularly the effect of socioeconomic structure upon genetic endowment. Studies show that similar groups of people provide divergent test results if they come from different cultural backgrounds. Such factors as nutrition, educational resources, family life and child-rearing practices, and social expectations play a significant role in determining how individuals utilize their genetic potential. The work of Jean Piaget greatly enhanced the overall understanding of intellectual development up to adolescence. From his studies of individual children, Piaget concluded that intellectual development follows a hierarchical pattern that usually corresponds with chronological age. Piaget's developmental theories continue to be a strong influence, despite the fact that a number of alternative theories have evolved. in government operations, evaluated information concerning such things as the strength, activities, and probable courses of action of other nations who are usually, but not necessarily, opponents. In a world of sovereign nations, information is a prime element of national power, and intelligence is the vital and often pivotal foundation for national decisions. The nature of intelligence is illustrated by a U.S. presidential order (Executive Order No. 12333) of December 4, 1981, which directed the national intelligence system to Provide the President . . . with the necessary information on which to base decisions concerning the conduct and development of foreign, defense and economic policy, and the protection of United States national interests from foreign security threats. The order directed that all means consistent with the law and rights of individuals be used to develop intelligence information for the President and specified that emphasis should be given to detecting and countering espionage and other threats . . . by foreign intelligence services against the United States government. These official words define the functions of intelligence and counterintelligence, but they omit a third and most controversial role of intelligence agencies, that of intervening secretly in the political or economic affairs of other nations, an activity commonly referred to as covert action. Intelligence, counterintelligence, and covert action denote a wide variety of governmental activities related to national security and defense and foreign policy. A statesman's day often begins and ends with the reading of intelligence reports. Accurate information is essential to, but does not guarantee, optimal decisions, while inadequate information has demonstrably led to disaster. The need for information must be recognized, and it must be collected efficiently, interpreted with sophistication, communicated with speed to precisely where it is most needed, and acted on with skill and courage.
