    IQ only tests your ability to take standardized tests, it has no real ability to quantify intelligence. But in Fallout, intellect 17 is BALLER.

      While that is true, there has been quite the effort to make a test that can actually show the lower end of the intelligence spectrum. And no matter how or what you test, 17 IQ is in the range of severe cognitive disability, i.e. the equivalent of the knowledge and ability of a 3 year old.
