Don't idolize scientists. Some of the dumbest people I've ever known I met in undergrad.
Graduates were only mildly better.
Everything is a bell-curve even if scientists on average have an IQ of 110 (generous). +40% of them are sub 100.

@NickolasGir Actually your numbers are way off from reality. On average the IQ of scientists is something much higher than 154. In fact 154 is the IQ you get if you exclude the math portion of an IQ test in an attempt to make it "fair". On an ordinary IQ test their IQ would be even higher. In fact a vanishingly small portion of scientists have an IQ below 122.
@NickolasGir Here is the breakdown by verbal, spatial, and mathematical if you are curious.
@freemo
Nah, literally not possible. Post a link the study that is from and I bet I can find 3 basic methodological problems without trying.
@NickolasGir Well before you even attempted to counter-prove the point you've already had a major methodological problem of your own. You've admited to extreme confirmation bias and that you will find something wrong with a study you havent even read yet.
I'll find the link when im back behind a computer again.
@freemo
Conformation bias would be if I dismissed you and did not ask for the study. I think I'm being very magnanimous in offering to find the problems, not just assuming they will be there.
@NickolasGir By the way while we are waiting for me to get home, please share your source that would suggest the IQs for scientists you already listed. Unlike you I am more than willing to change my mind when I see how informed your assertion happens to be.
