An alternative way of determining GURPS IQ. Start with a base value
of 10. Then rate each of

1.  Adaptability/learning speed (inc. practical problem-solving).
2.  Alertness.
3.  Analysis/logic/reason (inc. mathematical problem-solving).
4.  Creativity/imagination (artistic *or* scientific).
5.  Formal education.
6.  Intuition/synthesis.
7.  Memory.
8.  Practical experience (i.e., informal education).
9.  Sanity/stability.
10. Social ability (general).
11. Willpower.

according to

+2 . . . exceptionally high
+1 . . . above-average
0  . . . average
-1 . . . below-average
-2 . . . exceptionally low

Add all the modifiers to 10 to find GURPS IQ.

	Example 1: The classic, inspired-but-absent-minded "mad scientist"
might rate a +2 in Analysis, Creativity and Formal education; +1 in
Adaptability, Intuition and Willpower; 0 in Practical experience; -1
in Alertness, Memory and Social ability; and -2 in Sanity; therefore,
his IQ would be 10 + 2*3 + 1*3 + 0*1 - 1*3 - 2*1  = 14.
	Example 2: The stereotypical, "bookish fantasy mage," educated at a
magical college but sheltered from violence and crime, would get a
+2 in Formal education, Memory and Willpower; +1 in Adaptability,
Analysis and Intuition; 0 in Alertness, Creativity and Sanity; a -1
in Social ability; and a -2 in Practical experience; therefore, his
IQ would be 10 + 2*3 + 1*3 + 0*3 - 1*1 - 2*1  = 16.
