Editor's Note from Walter

IQ Intelligence and Motivation are normally distribution
and few have both on the high side.

Other have a higher end.

A few are on the lower end of IQ Intelligence and Motivation.
For these people, a search for their special intelligence,
as first defined by Gardner's Multiple Intelligence, become paramount.
