yawn. I was hoping for something with a little bit more kick.

for example:

If you enter a room, identify the tallest and shortest people, the number of exits, their dimensions, and utilize any reflective surfaces to make this possible without dying.

It seems an analyst is a paper-pusher.

I think you're confusing analyst with field agents.

The information you mention could be in an analysis though, but not the techniques for aquiring it.

One is writing intelligence (this), the other is gathering and collecting intel in the field (covert ops etc.)
