I-Q
Refers to one method of encoding of the color content of a video signal such that all colors could be depicted using a two dimensional diagram, more specifically a color wheel. There are two color signals one (I) of which represents oranges and blues and the other (Q) represents greens and purples. (Both together are used to represent other colors.) This choice of colors permits giving the oranges and blues, which the human eye is more sensitive to, more frequency bandwidth and thus greater color resolution in NTSC video. The remaining colors had to be limited to about 48 lines of resolution (0.6 MHz sideband width) to keep there from being too much color information contaminating the medium detailed luminance information in the composite video signal. Many TV sets today and all consumer VCR's limit color resolution to a theoretical maximum of 40 lines for all colors. When it is not necessary to construct a composite video signal, the color signals U and V representing blue and red respectively, are usually used instead of I and Q. We believe that all of the descriptions on this page can be understood quite well by persons without tremendously high intelligence quotients. Click here for more on video signal formats.

Intelligence quotient
An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence. IQ tests are used as predictors of educational achievement. People with low IQ scores are sometimes placed in special-needs education.
IQ scores are also used by social scientists; in particular, they study the distribution of IQ scores in populations and the relationships between IQ score and other variables. IQ correlates with job performance and income, also with the social status of the parents. Recent work has demonstrated links between IQ and both morbidity and mortality. While IQ heritability has been investigated for nearly a century, controversy remains as to how much is heritable, and the mechanisms for heritability are still a matter of some debate. The same study suggests that the heritable component of IQ becomes more significant with age. The average IQ scores for many populations were rising at an average rate of three points per decade during the 20th century with most of the increase in the lower half of the IQ range: a phenomenon called the Flynn effect. It is disputed whether these changes in scores reflect real changes in intellectual abilities, or merely methodological problems with past testing.
