It is quite interesting that carpenters from truck drivers, plants more than carpenters have a slightly higher IQ. Also, from a kindergarten or elementary school teacher, is it inevitable that the high school teacher has a higher IQ?

After all, university professors, doctors, lawyers seems to have high IQ. In research workers, IQ is higher in natural science (mathematics, physics, biology) than in social science.

However, this is only for men in the state of Wisconsin from 1992 to 1994, so you do not have to worry if your IQ of your occupation is low.

I think the IQ of politicians is also anxious, but do we have to guess from the occupation before flying.
