An Encephalization Quotient (EQ) of 0.1 is considered below-average intelligence. EQ is a measure of brain-to-body-mass ratio, which is used to predict an organism's cognitive abilities. The higher the EQ, the greater the cognitive abilities an organism is expected to have. A lower EQ, therefore, suggests lower cognitive abilities.
