A great amount of human vs. computer games were played with five "anchor point" personalities, and it was pretty much discovered that most of the personalities (especially those between 2000 and about 1300) were rated WAY too high, some by as much as 200 points or more! Therefore, what you are probably seeing is the personalities that had their ratings lowered, although a few (not many) personality's ratings were actually raised. jm
