| Manifesting early, these levels of talent (and those above) require the immediate attention of Imperial authorities and represent a true security threat.
|-
! style="font-size:110%;text-align:center;" | Delta<br>Gamma
| style="font-size:80%;text-align:center;" | (13)<br>(14)
| '''Delta''' and '''Gamma''' level psykers exhibit extreme levels of psionic ability. Unless discovered quickly, death or possession are common results of the untrained mind being unable to handle this level of mental energy.
|-
! style="font-size:110%;text-align:center;" | Beta<br>Alpha
| style="font-size:80%;text-align:center;" | (15)<br>(16)
| Exceedingly rare and dangerous. Mainstream ''[[Medicae Imperialis]]'' discussion agrees that current human beings do not possess the necessary evolutionary development to contain '''Beta''' and '''Alpha''' levels of psionic talent. As such, the great majority of those discovered at this Assignment rating usually suffer from mental instability.

==Discussion #1==
Now this is curious... according to this, a Tau grade individual has no ability to recognize psychic prowess. Ironically, so does the Tau race. So it begs the question- did we name the Tau due to this comparison, did they choose it? Or is this just a hilarious coincidence? --[[User:Lygris|Lygris]] 20:41, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
:One would assume someone at GW thought it would be funny to name them this, as it is a fairly random name in itself. Otherwise it may well be random luck, but that seems too unlikely. I doubt the Tau, if they named themselves, knew of the Imperial psychic connotations.--[[User:Jonru|Jonru]] 20:45, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
