From Chhay Lin Lim: ‘Average IQ per College Major:’
There’s a normal distribution, but the mean of this data set seems off…interesting nonetheless:
‘So what are the results that the ETS came up with? The majors that have the five highest average IQ scores are (ranked from high to low):
- Physics & Astronomy (133)
- Mathematical Sciences (130)
- Philosophy (129)
Materials Engineering (129)
- Economics (128)
Chemical Engineering (128)
Other Engineering (128)
- Mechanical Engineering (126)
The majors with the five lowest average IQ scores are (again ranked from high to low):
- Administration (107)
- Home Economics (106) Special (106)
- Student Counseling (105)
- Early Childhood (104)
- Social Work (103)’
