The Duke-Heidelburg Quotient was a measure and ranking of Human extrasensory perception, similar to an esper rating or aperception quotient.

History and specifics

It was developed around the 22nd century with scientists at Duke University and Heidelberg University collaborating with Vulcans as a test for psychic potential. Members of the New Human movement had such quotients. (TOS novel: The Higher Frontier)

Elizabeth Dehner's personnel record noted that she had a Duke-Heidelburg Quotient of 256, considered higher than average. It was high enough that exposure to the energy in the galactic barrier granted her psychokinetic abilities. (TOS episode: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")

Aboard the USS Enterprise in 2268, transporter operator Gaetano Petriello had a quotient of 255. Tactical officer Olivier Bouchard had a quotient of 260. (TOS novel: A Choice of Catastrophes)
