Yeah, and that doesn't refute the 96 IQ theory.  To clarify: if Ranma
were to take an IQ test, he would probably score poorly.  Why?  Because
IQ tests are based largely on education; they assume that the taker of
the test has been to school on a regular basis for their age.
Naturally, it isn't much of a leap of logic to say that Ranma has NOT
had regular schooling for someone his age.  I wouldn't be surprised if
you could count the number of years he's been in school on one hand.
This simply shows a weakness of IQ tests.  While I wouldn't call Ranma a
genius, his IQ would probably be misleading as a measure of his actual
intelligence.

  Hmmm, with that possibility in mind, that leads to another questian. Who would
be smarter, Ranma or Ryoga?
Neither had that much schooling since they had both spent most of their lives on
the road.
Would Ryoga score any higher on an IQ test?
I would hope that he had learned some things in his travels.
