Hi Koan, I don't know how much they charge for PhDs at Berkely but however much they charge, people with 100 IQ won't be beating the 130 at much of anything requiring intellect. <You give me a person with a normal IQ and a PHD from Berkely, and a person with a 130 IQ with no education and I guarantee you the person with the 100 IQ will kick the 130 IQ person's ass in just about everyything they do. > It depends of course on what you mean by "no education". As specified, my "uneducated" would have access to books, cyberspace, generally out and about activities and people run in a self-determined way. You won't find many [or any] PhDs being awarded to people with IQ100, though they can be bought through the internet, and perhaps some actual universities give them out in native American studies or some such basket-weaving subjects. Of course if the 130 person has never seen a chessboard and the 100 person has learned chess for a decade from age 10, then of course the 100 would beat the 130. That's irrelevant and not what we are discussing. It's not what I was discussing but maybe you are. Actually, simply teaching the 130 the rules of chess would probably be sufficient for them to beat the 100 x 10 years on the first attempt and certainly after not many games. Mqurice
