purpose
of

is
to
map
different
perspectives
on

processes
and
the

in
an
intelligence
context.
A

of

and
obstacle

the
way
of

and
to
compare
the
results
with
perspectives

makers
and
results
from
scholars
among
the
field
of
Intelligence
studies.

and
data:
The

based
on
semi-‐structured
interviews
of
intelligence
analyst
among
an
intelligence
unit
within
Swedish
Customs
and
is
supplemented
by
a
web-‐survey.
Results:
The
result
points
to
a
need
for
a
definition
of
good
intelligence
which
probably
could
help
the
promotion

quality
management
among

area
of
Intelligence
Analysis.
The
use
of
verbal
expressions
of
uncertainty
can
be
a
source
for
misunderstanding.
By
exploring
analyst
perspectives
more
of
day-‐to-‐
day
issues
and
problems
can
be
addressed
and
also
give
nuance
to
research
in
Intelligence
Analysis.
The
study
advocates
a
transformation
of
the
profession
Intelligence
Analyst,
from
tradecraft
to
be
permeated
by
a
scientific
approach.
