I was trolling though Game Talk looking for interesting stuff and I stumbled across a thread where someone had cadged a list of the degrees of sentience from another game.  It covered everything from mindless insect drones through non-human intelliegences such as gorilla and elephant up to human level.

Like an idiot I didn't bookmark it so I could find it again.  Does anyone remember this thread?  Search-fu has failed me.

It's not this site but this might help: http://theangryphilosopher.blogspot.com/2009/12/levels-of-sentience.html?m=1
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Also I'd recommend the Wikipedia entry on sentience. And this really good article from colonial chrome site. http://colonialchrome.co.uk/Pages/Rants/Rant_Sentience.html

I think you may have been thinking of this list of levels of sapience with real world examples

And finally this brief article breaks up sapience into different levels with a numerical scale and discusses whether sentience is present. http://complipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Sapience_Levels
