Being a Tory! That's too horrible, no you're right you should avoid that at all costs and stick with the score you gave Bow:)

Regarding the IQ point, it is so true about the difference between the ability to learn and what has been learnt, but the number of times I've had that argument with people administering the test to young people who have been inclined to ignore formal education, and not enough allowance is made for the difference between willigness to learn and ability:(
