IQ vs

Using modern day IQ scale, what would the avg. trek and wars character's iq be? Divide it into sub groups if you want.

IMO:

Stormies: 75 IQ
Red shirts: 65 IQ
Trek Brig Crew: 90 IQ
Trek Engineer: 110IQ

Typical Trek Captain: -2

Typical Trek Admiral: -10

110 IQ? You gotta be shittin me. More like a single digit.

Thrawn'd be like 500

If those guys can keep those ticking time bombs together I agree with the 110. The guys that designed them on the other hand are about -110.

Acutal Stormys are pretty smart, exculding the guy who ran into the Door Stormys I'd place at around 100-120 in the IQ deparment,

They of course are just balanced by the fact they are fanatics and orderd not to care who dies...

IE even a 150 IQ person could strap a bomb to thier chest and hop on a bus and go-kaboom if fanitical enough

You're making stormtroopers just barely above retarded? Piss off.

I'm an engineer, and I can tell you that those Trek "engineers" do NOT deserve the title. Their IQ's rate single-digit at best. See my essay on Trek engineering.

Damn, I thought this was in reference to the Q point-of-view novel by John de Lancie and Peter David...

Unless he means Scotty and such. Imagine keeping those ships together second by second.

Think about it, warp core of doom and the language of technobabble

anyway, that was just a random suggestion....

My point exactly. They've got to be good just to keep those shitty ships together.

Well, the Trek Engineer's IQ ca'nt be single-digit, because then, they couldn't speak at that level. They're probably 90 at best. Stormtroopers probably rate around the 100 level, and Imperial officers are probably around 150. "Simple-minded" doesn't necessarily mean "dumb".

The same imperial officer that gets shields down with rocks flying around or the same officer that didn't order the fleet to attack when DSII was being attacked.

that would be the ground in "never disobey or be punished with death". no matter how smart they were trained not to think unless told to.

Acutal in both cases blaim Vadar,
Cannon fact is communcations are down when shields are up(Because SW shields extend into the Hyperwave and Subspace areas) and since they are COMPLETE shields
IE 100% NOTHING gets through it makes sense for communcations to have a wee bit of a problem communcating with a perfect shield there

So you must drop a section or do the SW equivlant of tow a line behind you to communcate

Well there ARE comm systems which can communicate with shields up but Subspace, Hyeprwave, and HoloNet are all blocked by shields. As to the DSII example its worse than blame Vader its blame the Emperor. If everyone will recall it was the "Emperor's ordered us to remain here. He has something special planned..." It is analogous from a direct order from one's Commander in Chief. There are precious few Admirals ever in, say, US history who would disobey a direct order from the President and he doesn't have Dark Side powers.

...I merely remind everybody that it took Mr. LaForge nearly an entire day to figure out that a computer virus could be wiped from the Enterprise's memory in "Contagion" just by turning everything off, wiping the databanks, and reloading the OS and operating programmes —and he had to actually see it happen with Data before it actually occurred to him.

In another example, it took Geordi a painful number of hours before he figured out that the way to escape the Iralius asteroid field and aceton assimilator trap in "Booby Trap" was to turn everything off and use reaction thrust and momentum to clear the Enterprise out of the danger zone. Had they done that at the very beginning, the use of manoeuvering thrusters would have been sufficent instead of the "one big burst" of impulse power. He also didn't raise a peep of objection to Picard's absurd idea of using phasers to destroy the assimilator asteroids even after it had been pointed out that the things absorb incoming energy to feed their own function and pump out radiation! And this occurs to nobody on the bridge. Not Picard. Not Riker (though he doesn't have the brains for it). Not Troi (she neither). Not Worf (or him for that matter either). Not Data. Not Wesley the Wünderkind. And especially not Geordi. Nobody on that damn bridge objected to a plan which was only going to make things worse!

That doesn't impress me all that much in regards to the mighty brainpower of Starfleet. Time, I think, to revise those Feddie IQ numbers downward.

Come on though, Scotty could break the laws of physics, maybe he is the expetion though.

That was Vader who doesn't give a shit about their lives you fucking idiot.

or the same officer that didn't order the fleet to attack when DSII was being attacked.

Yeah! Let's go disobey orders from the Emperor!

Light seems to get through them just fine

. Of course not much use for communications in the SW-verse I guess.

No he couldn't. He said so himself. "I canna bread the laws a physics, Captain."
