Thanks ericbsmith!

For some of these, the roll against IQ makes at least some sense. Granted it might be because I don't have a proper understanding of things like Common Sense and Intuition; I tend to think of them as things separate from real world intelligence or at least GURPS IQ. Could just be a matter of perception; does one not expect a genius to avoid doing dumb things, or get to the right answer before fully understanding how? Maybe not, in which case this is a good time to let me know, so I don't complicate the thread! ^^'

That or perhaps the real issue is Unreliable needs to be more granular? Become the legitimate inverse of Reliable as -X% per -1?
