  Intelligence (information gathering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intelligence is the process and the result of gathering information and analyzing it to answer questions or obtain advance warnings needed to plan for the future.
Intelligence findings or "product" and the sources and methods used to obtain them (tradecraft) are often highly classified and sometimes compartmentalized, and intelligence officers need top level security clearance.
Intelligence as used here, when done properly, serves a function for organizations similar to that which intelligence (trait) serves for individual humans and animals.
