24. When we speak of improving the mind we
are usually referring to the acquisition of
information or knowledge….not to the actual
functioning of the mind. We spend little
time monitoring our own thinking and
comparing it with a more sophisticated ideal.
James L. Adams, Conceptual Blockbusting: A Guide to Better Ideas (New
York: W.W. Norton, second edition, 1980), p. 3.
41. Analysts should be self-conscious about
their reasoning processes. They should
think about how they make judgments
and reach conclusions, not just about the
judgments and conclusions themselves.
- Richard Heuer, The Psychology of Intelligence Analysis
53. ...the term hypothesis [is used] in
its broadest sense as a potential
explanation or conclusion that is
to be tested by collecting and
presenting evidence
Richard Heuer, Psychology of Intelligence Analysis, pg.32
