The fact that D&D Int. includes also abilities like memory aside, it is quite easy to convert IQ to D&D equivalent of Intelligence using the statistical method of comparing how many standard deviations each diverges from the mean. The formula is as follows: Int. = 10.5 + ((IQ - 100)/SD) x 8.75^0.5 Assuming that GRE scores are also a proxy for the measure of Int., I would like to have a similar formula for converting GRE scores into D&D Int. Unfortunately, my statistical knowledge is too limited to do this, so if some statistics whiz could help me and show how it's done, I would appreciate it. Here is the relevant information for the distribution and correlation of GRE scores: GRE scores consist of 3 sections: Verbal (scores range from 200 to 800) Quantitative (scores range from 200 to 800) Analytical (scores range from 0 to 6) Here are the necessary numbers that I managed to uncover: Verbal Mean: 469 Quantitative Mean: 597 Analytical Mean: 4.2 Verbal Standard Deviation: 120 Quantitative Standard Deviation: 148 Analytical Standard Deviation: 1.0 Correlation between Verbal and Quantitative Scores: 0.23 Correlation between Verbal and Analytical Score: 0.55 Correlation between Quantitative and Analytical Scores: 0.02</blockquote>
