There was definitely more to it than the qt but I distinctly remember them talking about a certain number where those who scored below it generally would not be accepted. The number must matter or maybe it use to - I suppose.

If a rough estimation would be 131+, what are they, a bunch of slightly clever morons? As addled as I currently am by damage done by alcohol and other factors, even I MYSELF should probably still be able to score higher than THAT. A common corporate DRONE would come close to THAT if you think about it

Percentiles I remember but I can't remember if that was school or lab ratting
My percentile was ALWAYS a cunt hair off of 100 .. not 98 but a cunt hair off of EXCEPT for a couple of times in school where math dropped me down. I am afraid of math but I would be good at math
