All this shows is that College professors spend an absurd amount of time doing IQ tests compared to Truck drivers.

The scientists who came up with the baseline work to study IQ found that correlating it to intelligence was vehemently disgusting. It was used to test how well young children scored on a school cericulum, not intelligence but learning.

It doesn't surprise me that MD's are at the top of the list as they're basically glorified encylopedias. They're incompitent, they're poor at their job and I've rarely heard people speak well of them. My mum has intermittent hyperthyroidism, it took almost 3 years for them to figure out they had to take a test when it was acting up to get a result. It's an intermittent condition and the morons didn't know what to do. The ironic thing is that she's a nurse and the doctors she works with told her she had it, but they can't give out prescriptions because of ethics so she was stuck with morons who wouldn't listen to what she said.

I saw 3 doctors about 1 skin condition. One said excema, the next said psoriosis and the final said ringworm. Each one had me on different meds for it and none of them worked, the thing that did was going on vacation for two weeks; within the first five days it was gone and hasn't been back since, yet none of them reccomended it and they had me on steroids and antifungals and never even told me that UV would likely clear it up no problem. Not to mention I've had a doctor tell me I'm morbidally obese because of my Body Mass Index when I'm bradycardic, I have perfect blood pressure and low cholesterol; I spent last weekend lifting 120kg wooden beams 2 meters into a roof and didn't even break a sweat. I'd be surprised my MD could lift 10kg, because I've certainly never seen him lift his fat ass out of a chair in 3 years and he has the gall to say I need to lose weight.

It took my girlfriends' aunt over a decade to get her doctor to diagnose her with high blood pressure, because he said she was thin enough that she didn't need her blood pressure to be taken. When she finally found a doctor that would do it, she left with a prescription for strong blood pressure medication because the guy was worried she was going to have a stroke.

IQ is complete bull and the list looks to correlate more with people incapable of listening or understanding than intelligence. I work as an electrician, yet my first job was in the creative group so near 110 at 16 and IQ results grow exponentially on age till about 21 years. Yet I'm a lot more intelligent now I've been working as an electrician than before, and I know a hell of a lot more.

This is inherently useless as people change jobs. My dad went from a milkman to a welder, to an owner/manager of a garage, to a motorbike racer, to an electrical engineer programming the first fuel injection systems in cars, to computer programming when DOS was new and rode that through into .Net and now I'm working with him on property renovation and electrics.

So I would really love someone to prove to me that IQ measures intelligence, cause it just seems to prove stupidity to me. MD's are the dumbest people I've ever met, and I need to meet about 90 more to get proof that all the ones I've met so far are a statistical anomaly occuring in a general local area of the bottom 10th percentile.
