Re: What makes you think Alviarin is "middling"? taura-tierno Send a noteboard - 28/12/2009 03:19:14 PM
She's influential enough in non-BA circles that Elaida trusted her to be able to help over-throw Siuan. Seems to me that she must be higher up in the overall scheme of AS strength.

I'd be she's in the same range as Beonin/Morvrin/Carlynia etc...

I relied on the saidar ranking in that theory. Of course, many characters' placements in that theory can be debated, but much of it is quite plausible. I made that assumption. But even if she's stronger, that doesn't leave much room for her to be about as strong as two weak sisters. Well, depending on how where you'd place Zemaille in the 0-100 scale.

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 1248 Views
I always thought the curve was one sided Asha'man Warder - 18/12/2009 01:17:32 PM 657 Views
The Curve only refers to the channeling population, not to non-channelers. Shannow - 18/12/2009 01:56:25 PM 663 Views
I would say that your sample is flawed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 05:02:02 PM 739 Views

It doesn't matter... Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:02:38 PM 597 Views
But, it sort of does. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/12/2009 10:43:08 PM 632 Views
So you're saying that no modern Aes Sedai are even of average strength? Shannow - 18/12/2009 10:51:01 PM 721 Views
Are you sure it's the same bell curve from the AoL? BlackAdder - 18/12/2009 11:11:19 PM 688 Views

The culling theory... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:36:34 PM 575 Views
The culling theory applies to the ENTIRE population, not just Aes Sedai... Shannow - 18/12/2009 09:42:31 PM 697 Views
Yes, but Aes Sedai take it to a new level... Phelix - 18/12/2009 09:48:59 PM 749 Views

So RJ was wrong about Bell Curve distribution? darius_sedai - 19/12/2009 06:03:24 PM 659 Views

Its simple really... fionwe1987 - 19/12/2009 06:15:23 PM 632 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 641 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 734 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 772 Views
A thought that occured to me, and I'd like your opinion... Phelix - 18/12/2009 07:38:29 PM 586 Views
Well Sharina isn't a sparker and she's the strongest AS darius_sedai - 18/12/2009 07:57:17 PM 608 Views
Yes... Phelix - 18/12/2009 08:01:57 PM 675 Views
Is it just my bad memory or is one of the wondergirls not a sparker? Gher - 18/12/2009 10:12:59 PM 601 Views

So RJ used two separate scales, one actual one relative, to explain the same thing? fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:33:20 PM 557 Views
Yes, "Bell Curve" does not mean Gausian. Or normal distribution. amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:24:10 PM 594 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 360 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 547 Views
It does to RJ Shadowkiller - 20/12/2009 03:12:30 PM 693 Views

That's because outliers in IQ tests are excluded form the curve. *NM* fionwe1987 - 18/12/2009 11:31:23 PM 363 Views
Really?!?! then what is the definition of a IQ of 200? amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:28:18 PM 911 Views
You can have IQ's above that... fionwe1987 - 20/12/2009 05:09:44 AM 623 Views
I said that in the other post and was half torn to pieces *NM* Sidious - 19/12/2009 11:38:25 AM 312 Views
Eh. Ignore the IQ value and draw it on a linear weight scale amirebram - 19/12/2009 11:26:23 PM 579 Views
