The Schuler-Kapp index is a way to assess intelligence and manual dexterity in animals, based on the results of behavioral tests. The index is expressed in points, and an increase by 19 points is considered significant: Raccoons infected with FEV at West Tek managed to compromise security and escape the facility, with two pairs completely evading corporate security.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The index does not actually exist, as there is no universally agreed upon way to assess intelligence in non-humans. It can be considered an example of technobabble.
