CDASA 3 UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM Questions
And CORRECT Answers
Analytic approach and methodology - CORRECT ANSWERS Ensure core techniques are
integrated into sense making to maintain analytic rigor.
Analytic design ends with an analytic assessment that includes a judgment explaining how
analytic findings address the BLANK1, the confidence level associated with that judgement, and
plausible BLANK2 or explanations for gaps and uncertainty. - CORRECT ANSWERS 1-
Intelligence question
2-alternative hypotheses
BLANK use relevant data in predetermined frameworks to achieve objective, externalized insight
into a problem, or question (e.g. decision tree or back-casting). - CORRECT
ANSWERS Structured analytical techniques
When designing an analytic approach you may want or need to consider a specialized technique
that more deeply analyses the intelligence question. Choosing the appropriate technique
involves the following: - CORRECT ANSWERS Assessing the nature of the problem or type
of question, the data available for analysis, and the timeline for analysis.
Collaboration is working with the other stakeholders to develop a project or accomplish a task.
In analytic design collaboration ensures diversity of perspective and depth in expertise
throughout analysis. Which of the choices below best examples the analytical design areas
where collaboration can improve analytic design and strategies for collaborating. - CORRECT
ANSWERS Framing and knowledge review AND Methodology building and perform
analysis
The characteristics of a good analytic question are: - CORRECT ANSWERS Addresses a gap
relevant to the client, has a subject and a verb, is open-ended and has specificity appropriate to
client mission.
, During issue development, what do you do when you don't have an intelligence question? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Start with understanding the client's requirements, identify relevant
topics, issues, and intelligence gaps, that break down into specific questions that can be
analyzed.
Issue development tools include tools and frameworks to help generate client-relevant initiative
questions for analysis: T/F? - CORRECT ANSWERS True, yes.
During the framing stage of analytical design, which are must suitable structured analytical
techniques to employ? - CORRECT ANSWERS Idea generation, argument map and four
ways of seeing
During the perform analysis stage of the analytical design, which are most suitable structured
analytical techniques to employ? - CORRECT ANSWERS Argument map, key assumptions
check, and four ways of seeing.
Explain how to assess/evaluate analytic finding - CORRECT ANSWERS Determine what
analysis has provided as an "answer" to the question. Build an argument map to understand the
strength of the case supporting the judgement.
Using argument mapping or logical reasoning to determine infilling critical gaps orc hangin
assumptions would change the judgment. What concept does this describe? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Assess/evaluate analytic finding
What three components are part of framing under the rubric of the DIA's analytical design
tradecraft guidance? - CORRECT ANSWERS Client requirement, crafting question, and
scoping
