All Intelligence categories and sub categories with explanation

​1. Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ)

​This category refers to the total score derived from standardized intelligence tests (like the WAIS or WISC), representing overall cognitive ability.

​Core Indexes

​VCI (Verbal Comprehension): Ability to access and apply acquired word knowledge and verbal reasoning.

​PRI (Perceptual Reasoning): Ability to interpret and organize visually presented material and solve non-verbal problems.

​WMI (Working Memory): Capacity to retain and manipulate information in short-term storage.

​AWMI (Auditory Working Memory): Specifically handling information received through hearing.

​PSI (Processing Speed): The speed and accuracy of visual identification and decision-making.

​VSI (Visual Spatial): Understanding visual details and spatial relationships (e.g., mental rotation).

​FRI (Fluid Reasoning): Identifying underlying logical rules and patterns regardless of prior knowledge.

​CRI (Crystallized Reasoning): Using skills, knowledge, and experience to solve problems.

​NVI (Non-Verbal Index): Measuring general ability without relying on language.

​GAI (General Ability Index): An estimate of general intellectual ability reduced by the impact of working memory and processing speed.

​CPI (Cognitive Proficiency Index): Measures how efficiently a person processes information (WMI + PSI).

​QRI (Quantitative Reasoning): Mental math and logical application of numerical concepts.

"Nickocado's feats: Was able to masterfully construct an 8 year long-term plan, a social and psychological experiment, where he utilized his weight, a factor most think of as a simple unit, to manipulate the YouTube community and his viewers. (Long-term planning, creativity, fluid intelligence, planning flexibility, fluid methods, strategy brilliancy and more) Utilized the collective human ego and the human nature of desiring to feel superior and look down on others to perfectly execute his "Nickocado social experiment" long-term plan. (Crystallized intelligence, fluid intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, logical manipulation, mass manipulation, psychological manipulation, individual manipulation, logical manipulation, strategy execution, strategy efficiency, long-term planning and more) Was able to become a multi-millionaire due to his 8 year long-term plan. (Financial manipulation, strategy effectiveness and more) Was able to construct sub-long-term plan inside of his 8 year plan which was the 2 year "weight loss" long-term plan. Perfectly and masterfully executed the plan utilizing a brilliant strategy of recording tons of videos daily and saving those videos, and utilizing them by uploading them methodically in synchronized increments of time, deceiving all of YouTube and his viewers to think he was still as fat as always. (Long-term planning, planning coverage, planning intricacies/complexity, planning flexibility, short-term Strategy, long-term strategy, strategy execution, strategy efficiency, strategy effectiveness, fluid tactics, fluid intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, mass manipulation, mass deception, fabrication, concealment, strategic deception, gaslighting, overall deception, psychological manipulation, logical manipulation and more) Not only did he fabricate many videos he pre-planned and methodically uploaded but also pre-planned and methodically uploaded but also concealed all indices and premises anyone could ever use to deduce his 2year "weight loss" plan by fabricating false rumors about heart attacks, heath complications and strategically pre-planned drama and false rumors about his whereabouts, masterfully manipulating those few that knew about his "weight loss" long-term plan to never speak a word about it and go along with his fabrications. (Long-term planning, strategic planning, planning complexity/intricacies, short-term planning, planning coverage, improvisation, fluid intelligence, social intelligence, emotional intelligence, psychological manipulation, mass manipulation, individual manipulation, logical manipulation, direct manipulation, indirect manipulation, overall manipulation, gaslighting, mass deception, concealment, fabrication, verbal deception, non-verbal deception, strategic deception, execution control, absolute/direct control, abstract control and more) Was able to conceal his "social experiment" 8 year long-term plan from absolutely everyone [absolutely insane feat], even his partner which he psychologically and indirectly manipulated into joining his 8 year long-term plan without his will, carefully and meticulously love bombing, gaslighting and isolating, along with many other toxic manipulation methods utilized to gain absolute control over his romantic partner. (Concealment, psychological, logical, individual, mass manipulation and deception, gaslighting, love bombing, honey trapping, isolation, triangulation, cunning, negative manipulation, miscallleanous, machiavellianism, absolute control) In summary, Nickocado Avocado is a brilliant, manipulative mastermind that methodically and perfectly executed and completely concealed an 8 year "social experiment" plan utilizing his weight and the human nature to feel superior to gain fame and wealth perfectly executed a 2 year "weight loss" plan utilizing many brilliantly creative and flexible short-term and long-term strategies, tactics and manipulation methods to gain control over his colleagues in this plan, his romantic partner and Social Media with no leaks, no mistakes. A flawless, genius long-term social experiment that gained him fame and wealth and most importantly preserved his health in the end and I haven't even cited all of the complex intricacies and brilliant strategies Nickocado Avocado utilized and executed methodically and masterfully. His Long-term "weight loss" plan was executed so well in fact that some theorized that his last video "Two steps ahead", indicating him being 2 years ahead of Social Media, was a pre-recorded video before he gained weight because of just how insane it is that no one deduced his long-term plan, which was because all of the evidence that could be used to deduce the

long-term plan and expose it was perfectly concealed.

Personal opinion: Personally, after an extensive analysis, I think it may be even superior to Leap Second as it's much more creative and was executed perfectly as opposed to Leap Second and has much less limitations and is much more complex and difficult to counter

My theory is that James Lee may have already killed Mary Kim and is now trying to frame Tom Lee for the deaths of Mary Kim, Lightning Choi, and the police officers who died in the previous chapters. His current fight with Tom could simply be staged evidence so that the police can later arrest Tom without questioning James or James Lee might actually intend to kill Tom Lee himself and later claim it was self-defense. Another possibility is that he shifts all the blame onto Big Deal, since they are currently heading toward the church. That would allow him to frame them for the murders of Mary Kim, Tom Lee, and Lightning Choi I also think James plans to manipulate the media and police regarding the destruction of the Workers affiliate and headquarters. He could spread false information claiming that Allied and Workers were involved in a massive gang war, making them appear responsible for all the chaos and destruction As for OG Daniel, I think James anticipated that Daniel, Eugene, and Yuseong would jump off the cliff. Because of that, he may have secretly sent people ( possibly the those old guys who betrayed Eugene ) to rescue Daniel and bring him directly to James. Meanwhile, the river currents may have separated Daniel from Eugene and Yuseong, who could later be rescued by Big Daniel If all of this happens, then by the end of the arc, Daniel’s entire alliance could end up being hunted by the police, forcing them to go into hiding for the next few arcs

I have a theory on latest chapter : James Lee used a body double during his fight with Tom Lee. That body double could either be a real fighter or maybe even a clone created by the Quest Window lady. We already know that James Lee is a politician, so he could probably send the injured body double to a press conference and create a narrative that Tom Lee attacked him and the police officers because Tom was angry over the death of his friend, Charles Choi.

James could then claim that Tom was killed in self-defense. Or he might say that his bodyguards, the Gentlemen and the Kings, killed Tom while trying to protect him. But in reality, it was actually James himself who killed Tom

you can call it cope, glazing whatever you want to say but at the end of the its just a theory
