Much of our life is consumed looking for quantitative
relationships. For example, How much more sleep do I need at night
to make me feel better? How many calories do I need to eliminate to
lose weight? How much larger does my budget on the job need to be
for me to be more effective? All these quantitative questions are
preceded, and depend on, qualitative questions. For example, before
I decide how much extra sleep I need at night, I need to determine
if extra sleep will actually make me feel better. In another
example, I need to determine if a larger budget will make me more
effective on the job, before I think about how much more money I
will need. What elements influence job performance, and how do they
interact? We spend much of our life trying to find answers to such
quantitative and qualitative questions. We are, then, in search of
a kind of intelligence that includes numbers but is also above and
beyond them. We call it "supernumerary" intelligence (SI). To aid
our quest for SI, we use Quantitative CyberQuest (QCQ) and the
Public Administration Genome Project (PAGP) as useful tools. QCQ is
a philosophy as well as an analytic tool that helps in exploring
the supernumerary. QCQ is particularly wellsuited for sorting out
variables as well as their interrelations. It involves a
combination of statistics, systems analysis, research methodology,
qualitative research, and artificial intelligence. QCQ also
provides a relatively easy to understand but still powerful set of
tools and guidancemechanisms to pilot (the "Cyber" part) users in
their "Quest" for supernumerary relationships.
