Chess Testing

I am surprised at this result, if accurate. Probably Kasparov, one of the all time greats, has a highly imbalanced intellect in terms of his natural talents. I expected a 150 (1 in 3000) or higher with significant imbalance. That he's only about 135 indicates much more imbalance than I'd expected. A genius, though, is by definition imbalanced--though typically even their weaknesses exceed the average.
