Or... perhaps in the case of generally resisting Interrogation Techniques, one might express the concept of *Willpower*, by adding ST and IQ together (averaging a 20 points total) and then, begin the process of resisting the interrogation at 3d6... then 4d6... then 5d6... until the character's will has been broken, or the Interrogation Technique has reached it's effective limit without breaking the subjects will.

You could also argue that DX should also be included because it has a lot to do with concentration and focus.
I chose "the middle attribute" for things like will power because:
- It requires no math
- It's more or less like an average of the attributes but it requires no math
- It has a lot more variance than the average of all three (which has very little variance)
- Well balanced characters will do better than extreme specialist-attribute characters
