All have their strengths and weaknesses.  The Wolfe-DeKok Adjusted Index is the one most commonly accepted as reasonably close to devoid of cultural and%2For educational bias%2C so it%27s more or less the de facto universal standard.  The unique thing about the Coluan Intellect Scale is that it can be applied not only to individuals%2C but also to groups%2C and it can %28with a little intellectual maneuvering%2C at which Coluans generally excel%29 be applied without a direct assessment%2C so that%2C for instance%2C an estimate of a deceased person%27s or fallen civilization%27s Intellect Level can be made based on the evidence left behind.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe %5Bi%5Dproblem%5B%2Fi%5D with the Coluan Intellect Scale is that%2C well%2C not to put too fine a point on it%2C it tends to favor Coluans and reflect Coluan cultural and intellectual arrogance.  The Coluan civilization in general has a pretty marked tendency toward self-congratulation.  Their experts admit of precious few Level 12 intellects outside their own civilization.  Even the great Vulcan polymath T%27Plava%2C who mastered such diverse fields as hydraulics%2C the integral calculus%2C esoteric %5Bi%5Dkadesh%5B%2Fi%5D poetry%2C optical theory%2C and general cosmic relativism in the 15th century B.C.%2C only rates a 10 on the official Coluan scale%2C which most Vulcan scholars %28by which I mean people who study Vulcan history and scholarship%2C not necessarily ethnic Vulcans%29 find just short of scandalous.
