by definition figure is indeterminate

mind: you can accomplish stuff, yet have some specific hangups and trigger points, overall behavior is "neurotic" despite high functioning. My gestalt is a B- grade

spirit: you're loyal, but have some specific problems as we discussed. D grade

WAIT. I AM D GRADE OR B- GRADE?

so if you sent me your picture and you were the exact greensborough jock, your theoretical maximum would be 100%+80%+60%=240%, 240%/3 = 80%, B- overall

since I keep running into people who are high functioning yet held back in HQI by neuroses and moral issues, I am considering rendering it as current max vs theoretical optimum

a fraction with actual HQI on top and on the bottom it's their HQI if they had 100% in mind/spirit sections

so in the case of you and wild, the higher number on the bottom would reflect significant capacity to improve

whereas in the case of a POC or a genetic cripple or something, even the optimum number would be low

what goes into your determination of body/face

face: it's a checklist of bone structure from top of face to bottom, from a frontal and profile view

most if it comes out of the hard tissue section of Erectus Walks Amongst Us and also from Madison Grant's Passing of the Great Race

so physiognomy

also, whether or not they are lighter than cardboard and have nonbrown eyes

then I look at things like height/weight/bodyfat%, any family history of medical illnesses, any evidence of actual athletic talent, coordination or toughness

eye color would figure into your theoretical maximum measurement

yes

i'm lighter than cardboard but brown eyes

I think my bone structure is pretty solid

I agree

wait i'm pretty sure I haven't posted any photos of me here

so... one problem is I haven't bothered to figure out a weight for each point I am looking for in the facial analysis, or how to weight face vs frame vs health

you've shown me photos before

of my brothers I think

I don't have them, but I remember thinking you looked like a grappler calisthenist type

oh

I look like them though

so really I have to fudge the overall rating for body as I don't have specific numbers, that's something that one day on a free afternoon I might fix

for example, if you are greensborough jock but with brown eyes, or type 1 diabetes, or you're 5'7", how many points come off?

currently I err on the side of generosity for anyone with the right physiognomy

someday it would be nice to standardize

the medical section would be difficult to standardize but possible

I'd have to actually list out all the major heritable diseases and figure out some kind of autistic rating system

that would probably be a week long grind of a project to just figure out

so there's really some wiggle room

What do I need to do to improve my hqi

for their mind, I just look at how quickly and effectively they solve problems (linear thinking), how proactively they acquire information (self study), and how flexible and intellectually honest their thought process is... for example, a guy who spent a long time developing some really well researched and well reasoned idea on some topic but could not handle hypotheticals of "what if the result here had been different?" then he would be suboptimal

I feel unqualified to tell you at the moment

Ok

so like in Mother's case, he effectively self studied some really accurate conclusions in some areas to achieve some results, but also showed evidence of rigidity/inflexibility

spirit... I basically look at a person's level of inner fire, their conviction to their moral code, and whether or not that moral code is actually any good or not
