I think most of the raises after the first step where you can choose to modify them (which makes it vary from 6-8) are considered to be the result of training and education, as it carries over to new bodies but the original changes do not.  So nature vs nurture I guess.<br/><br/>You would have picked up +Ints from PanOceania, probably education (Scientific or Orbital are +2), first career (+2 for Police), etc. So if you started at 8 you had 1+2+2 (basically got lucky in every phase).  The last two might have been the final modification where you can add +2 to one?
