Especially in Americanized societies, I suspect that this "PQ" is basically
cleverness, cunning and recklessness, seasoned with a dose of corruption.
(Bill Gates, Al Capone, Adolf Hitler and Elisabeth Teissier come to mind
as examples of a high PQ.) It's plausible that this PQ has an inverse
relationship with academic intelligence, but I guess it's not really
appropriate to hail PQ as an ideal of human development.
