IQs have nothing to do with wisdom or social skills. Normally these tests ae studied for so that the poor sod has somthing to brag about when drinking in the pub. IQ tests and the membership is an attempt at being an elitist.
Intelligence is subjective. Wisdom and knowledge is about being able to create something worthwhile.
Some have an aptitude for IQ tests and nothing else.
No generalising about profesions average IQ is rubbish.
Ask a legal occs about art or the classics; knowledge level 0 but they will buy the art works and listen to opera singers who they would love to emmulate.
I’ll stay with my 164 level IQ and have fun thanks.

Why are medical occupations so much higher than the other jobs? As far as I can tell, all doctors need to do is memorize parts of the body. While memory is part of intelligence, doctors are less intelligent when measured by the linguistic or mathematical parts of intelligence when compared to most of these other professions.

@zach - “I am getting tired of correcting people about the differences between IQ and knowledge.”

So don’t. Let them be stupid/unwise/ignorant.

” LOT of professors who would rate far below 100 on IQ for general knowledge ”

@lDAVE

I am getting tired of correcting people about the differences between IQ and knowledge. Hey! Even wisdom is different than both of those.

Of the top 9, social scientists are the profession with the lowest IQ.

Hauser is a social scientist at the University of Wisconsin Madison.

No listing for Politician/Civil Servant?

I guess that rating would be too embarrassing.

I’ve met a LOT of professors who would rate far below 100 on IQ for general knowledge but they have one small area of expertise that gets them accolades.
