INTELLIGENCE PAGE: A TINY ADDITION!

Would you be willing to perform some evaluations here please?

One question: If 'Mindless' in this case is not an intelligence ranking but simply a consequence of one's physiology/being, then do we need the examples? Those are mainly for clarifications in intelligence rankings - a character may be a genius in a specific area but have average intelligence otherwise. However a character having artificial intelligence/being possessed are just unconventional means of having intelligent thought and don't relate to the intelligence rankings themselves.

Basically - does this need to be clarified? Would the mindless note not be enough?

We preferably need to adjust the following text accordingly as well.

"There is no way to reliably quantify intelligence, and even these rankings are just suggestions and guidelines for pages. It is more important that a page discusses a character's intelligence and gives feats for their varying skills than have a solid ranking, although it may help with quickly summarizing their overall intellects and how they measure up to others."

Would something like this be a better alternative?

"There is no way to reliably quantify intelligence, and even the following rankings are just guidelines. It is more important that a page describes a character's most impressive intelligence feats along with their various skills than that it defines a solid ranking, although it helps with quickly summarising their overall intellect and how it compares to others."

Did I ever get staff input regarding the following suggested change btw?

I think that this evaluation makes sense. It is probably unnecessary. Our Intelligence page seems mostly fine as it is currently.

I just wanted to reduce the likelihood for inaccuracy. But, yes, it is not necessary as it is merely an example.

Thank you for everything!

This can be closed

Wait a little please. What about the following post?

Oh yes,

you recieved 1 staff input.

Personally I would keep it at Suggested Rankings. While the standards are in more common usage now, the inherent problem with a fixed intelligence scale remains.

Okay. I will close this thread then. Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
