You can have IQ's above that... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 20/12/2009 05:09:44 AM
IQ is a horrible correlation, because

a)It is not measuring something quantifiable, unlike OP strength.

b)There is no definite upper limit. With the OP, we do have one.

c)With IQ's the actual values don't fit the curve, its the "grading" from 1 to 200 that does. But RJ said "strength following a bell curve", not some grade for strength following a bell curve.

The One Power Bell Curve: Proof that it is not centered on 50% of the strongest channeler's strength Shannow - 18/12/2009 08:37:55 AM 1577 Views
I always thought the curve was one sided Asha'man Warder - 18/12/2009 01:17:32 PM 886 Views
The Curve only refers to the channeling population, not to non-channelers. Shannow - 18/12/2009 01:56:25 PM 877 Views
I would say that your sample is flawed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 05:02:02 PM 959 Views
well said *NM* darius_sedai - 18/12/2009 05:12:40 PM 452 Views
It doesn't matter... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:02:38 PM 818 Views
But, it sort of does. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 10:43:08 PM 878 Views
So you're saying that no modern Aes Sedai are even of average strength? Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:51:01 PM 976 Views
Are you sure it's the same bell curve from the AoL? BlackAdder - 18/12/2009 11:11:19 PM 924 Views
The Tower is restricted to the middle... fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 05:35:03 PM 1040 Views
Two things... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:28:25 PM 883 Views
The culling theory... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:36:34 PM 828 Views
The culling theory applies to the ENTIRE population, not just Aes Sedai... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:42:31 PM 940 Views
Yes, but Aes Sedai take it to a new level... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:48:59 PM 1014 Views
Re: Yes, but Aes Sedai take it to a new level... Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:06:15 PM 807 Views
Several more things... fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:26:19 PM 967 Views
You don't understand your own model... Shannow - 18/12/2009 11:38:05 PM 1000 Views
So RJ was wrong about Bell Curve distribution? darius_sedai - 19/12/2009 06:03:24 PM 885 Views
Re: So RJ was wrong about Bell Curve distribution? Sidious - 19/12/2009 06:10:52 PM 857 Views
Its simple really... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2009 06:15:23 PM 863 Views
So, Aviendha trumps RJ? A woman who, as late as tGS, doesn't know what she's doing with the OP? fionwe1987 - 19/12/2009 06:12:42 PM 854 Views
Age-Related Sample Bias Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 06:41:03 PM 833 Views
I have no problem with that...but it implies that the average woman today isn't at 50% of Lanfear... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:46:00 PM 955 Views
Partially agreed... Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:13:46 PM 851 Views
Well, the Aes Sedai are the only group that we have detailed strength info about... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:26:48 PM 954 Views
Sharina is AS ... she'd be dead in a few years if she hadn't gone to the Tower *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 01:08:20 AM 901 Views
A thought that occured to me, and I'd like your opinion... Phelix - 18/12/2009 07:38:29 PM 834 Views
Well Sharina isn't a sparker and she's the strongest AS darius_sedai - 18/12/2009 07:57:17 PM 842 Views
Yes... Phelix - 18/12/2009 08:01:57 PM 933 Views
Is it just my bad memory or is one of the wondergirls not a sparker? Gher - 18/12/2009 10:12:59 PM 819 Views
I think it's just a bad memory... Phelix - 18/12/2009 10:19:25 PM 831 Views
Easier sulution, and real example. amirebram - 18/12/2009 10:03:20 PM 894 Views
And that is indeed the solution I feel most comfortable with... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:08:40 PM 863 Views
Re: And that is indeed the solution I feel most comfortable with... Sidious - 19/12/2009 11:39:31 AM 1076 Views
Agree, but a little more curvy is better amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:17:16 PM 780 Views
*facepalm* BlackAdder - 18/12/2009 10:13:16 PM 859 Views
That's just the normalized value graphed on a log scale. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:20:41 PM 838 Views
Dude, Seriously? Shadowkiller - 18/12/2009 10:19:25 PM 844 Views
Indeed, and that's why I propose that... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:31:23 PM 856 Views
So RJ used two separate scales, one actual one relative, to explain the same thing? fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:33:20 PM 807 Views
Yes, "Bell Curve" does not mean Gausian. Or normal distribution. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:24:10 PM 838 Views
I'm sorry, but I've never heard of a non-Gaussian bell curve. Can you prove its existence? *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/12/2009 03:24:22 AM 466 Views
Maybe people in my field just use the term in a non-technical way. We do things with ... amirebram - 21/12/2009 07:24:43 PM 804 Views
It does to RJ Shadowkiller - 20/12/2009 03:12:30 PM 931 Views
Yes, "Bell Curve" does not mean Gausian. Or normal distribution. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:24:11 PM 809 Views
That's because outliers in IQ tests are excluded form the curve. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:31:23 PM 480 Views
Really?!?! then what is the definition of a IQ of 200? amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:28:18 PM 1147 Views
You can have IQ's above that... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2009 05:09:44 AM 872 Views
I said that in the other post and was half torn to pieces *NM* Sidious - 19/12/2009 11:38:25 AM 425 Views
Eh. Ignore the IQ value and draw it on a linear weight scale amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:26:23 PM 823 Views

Mathmatically this is very close to the system I proposed in another thread darius_sedai - 27/12/2009 01:23:51 AM 796 Views
