Who has more IQ,a scientist,an engineer,a mathematician,an actor ,a doctor,a dancer,a singer,an artist,....?

Question

who is best a borne mathematician/borne actor

Answer 1

What if you have a stupid scientist and a smart dancer?

Proffesion has no relation to IQ

Answer 2

uuhhh, what do you mean, IQ is a determination of the capability of the organ called the brain to work in given scenarios, problems and situations. However, capability, is determined by one's own determination separate from IQ, though IQ may assist just as a calculator assists with mathematical problems.

Answer 3

neither is best, im sure some actors have better iq's than mathamaticians and vi cerversa

Answer 4

The mathematician would be the best born mathematician.

The actor would be the best born actor.

What someone does has little to do with the Stanford-Binet test, or the emotional IQ tests.

Answer 5

It dosen't matter jobs develop from passion. You could of been the top of your class but if you love to sing you become a singer.(Well.... if your a good singer!) So a scientist may not have the highest IQ in the group you named.

Answer 6

IQ testing is a hoax.  The test is, has, or was written by a self-proclaimed group who THINK they are the smartest in the land. I'd like to see someone come up with a common sense test for those authors and see if they make the grade..Bunk, I say!

Answer 7

there is no specific discipline to attribute as a higher  IQ than the other.

IQ depends on the the individual personalities.Madonna ,a musician was seen to be a genius and so her IQ is more than some mathematicians.that is not to say that musicians have higher IQ than mathematicians. think about this.

Answer 8

depends on the person. As a student, I have a higher IQ than most other students, therefore, being a student doesn't determine my IQ level.

Answer 9

Your profession doesn't determine your IQ.  The standard IQ test measures your ability to reason abstractly and spatially.  Verbal and mathematic ability is also measured, but not necessarily other types of ability.  Ever read Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences?  You might want to take a quick look at a summary of it - each of the people in the different professions are smart in different ways.  

Intelligence is difficult to measure because it is difficult to define and to determine how to actually measure it.  There are so many "confounding" variables - like education level or exposure to abstract, "left brained" thinking that influences how people perform on this test.  Additionally there have been charges of cultural biases in the standard IQ test.  

A lot of artists (actors, dancers, singers, artists) have the stereotype of not being smart.  But that isn't true.   I'm not super smart, but I scored fairly well on the IQ test (140).  I guess I could be some sort of scientist if I wanted to (cognitive science is very interesting to me), but I prefer writing and film.  This is where my talent lies.  This is the case for lots of people.  So it isn't cut and dry.

Answer 10

Ya thats a dumb question.  People do whatever they feel most comfortable regardless of their intelligence.

Answer 11

IQ really doesn't have much to do with your occupation.  There are many super high IQ house wives, laborers, etc..

Answer 12

anyone can have a high IQ.....it is more what you do with it that matters and what happens in you life .....in whatever field or career you want to go into....

Answer 14

If you had an average of all the iq's, I'd imagine engineers have the highest.

Answer 15

It depends. You can find really stupid doctors, at least I'm told by my dad who is a doctor. And I presume you can find stupid mathematicians. By stupid I mean lack of knowledge beyond their specialty field. And some can be multi-talented- a mathematician or actor could have had the potential to be a doctor and vice versa.
