>>11866419>>11866419Compare average IQs of biology students with those studying physics and mathematics. Now consider the following: For both administrative and political reasons, most IQ scores that you happen to see, are actually translated from SAT scores. Because one is usually prepared to do such tests, you can safely subtract 10 points from such obtained IQ scores. This is in line with the average IQ distribution found among college students which is 106, the average US IQ as reference point is set at 100, white people would score 103 here. College students are in fact really not more intelligent than the average person out there. The IQ distribution will scew a little more to the right among graduate scholars and those with an Ph.D., but even college professors have an average IQ that is below 115.
We can assume that those studying STEM may be more intelligent than those studying humanities on average with some outliners like those studying philosophy. Among STEM majors, biology students belong to the most stupid groups. There's your answer. An average IQ of 105 makes you just smart enough to see the amount of stuff you will never really grasp. It's worse in psychology where the student body has an average IQ below the US average. Imagine that.
