The concept of “revealed by” includes these correct responses:

  • Classified information is not clearly or explicitly stated in the source document.
  • A reader can deduce the classified information by performing additional interpretation or analysis.

What “revealed by” means

In classification training and derivative classification tests, “revealed by” refers to cases where information is implicitly present, not directly spelled out.

A typical example is when separate, unclassified details—such as dates, locations, or capabilities—when combined or analyzed, allow someone to infer a classified fact.

So, when you see a “select all that apply” question on this concept, the answers that match “revealed by” are the ones about:

  • Information not clearly or explicitly stated in the source document.
  • Information that can be deduced by additional interpretation or analysis.

The options about “no additional interpretation needed” or “comes from an authorized source into a new document” typically describe other concepts (like direct extraction), not “revealed by.”
