Re: (TFT) Breaking TFT

[Margaret Tapley <barnswallow@sbcglobal.net>]

The way we've done IQ is to go over the list of talents and note any  
we would qualify as having, then add up the IQ required to have all  
those talents. It takes some creativity, since there's plenty of stuff  
that people can learn that isn't listed in the Talents list. For those  
we just allocate a reasonable number of IQ points, based on how  
complex the skill is. For example, we might count being able to  
program computers as being worth 1 or 2 IQ points, depending on the  
skill level of the programmer in question. This probably gives a lower  
number, on average, than the test-based ones, but I don't know.
