How does it feel knowing that philosophy majors are probably exceedingly more intelligent than you are?

>> No.4181203

>theology ahead of engineering, chemistry, biology, computer science, and finance

Christians: 1
Atheists: 0

>> No.4181205

>that feel when Econ/Chem double major.

>> No.4181208

I'm majoring in Physics. Additionally, there is no major that selects for an exceptionally high IQ. I would be shocked if any major has an average IQ above 115; this number is rather pedestrian.

>> No.4181209

>international relations

>> No.4181210

Nice try but I'm a math major. Feels good to be at the top.

Why isn't psychology included in "liberal arts"? Are they implying that it's a science?

>> No.4181216

0/10

On the off chance that you are being sincere, liberal arts is a specific degree; there are plenty of non-science degrees on this list.

>> No.4181217

Why does Political Science have 3 times as many students as every other category?

Do they all go into law or something?

>> No.4181218

>>4181212
Stop looking for something that isn't there. Psychology and liberal arts are two distinct majors but they are often in the same faculty [of arts].

>> No.4181222

>>4181217
Getting a poli sci degree means you continue to law school or you work at starbucks, that's why.

>> No.4181221

>>4181217
There's not many other places you can go with a Political Science degree. Unless you like sucking politician dick.

ITT: Bad troll doesn't realise /sci/ is 99 percent maths and physics majors.

>> No.4181236

That's extremely optimistic thinking. I'd say most of /sci/ are pseudo-intellectuals who are majoring in biology.

>> No.4181252

>>4181236

I'm a biology major. No shame in that. I usually get B- in my biology classes and A+ in my math and physics classes. mad?

>> No.4181255

LSAT score =/= intelligence. Its like saying dolphins are more intelligent than us because they can jump through hoops.

>> No.4181256

>>4181252
You're bad at your major and you take easy math classes. Why would anyone be upset?

>> No.4181258

>>4181255
LSAT is an aptitude test. There's quite a strong correlation between intelligence and performance on it.

>> No.4181262

>Criminal Justice students scoring the lowest on the Law School Admissions Test

okay

criminal justice is higher age, more in-job training, less academic in social trends now. its just c students that become security guards returning to school.

>> No.4181282

And, once again, Physics is at the top. Everyone else, are you even trying?

>> No.4181311

I too wouldn't call psychology a science.. If it was pre 1950s

Welcome to the new world... Psychology have developed more than computers the last 20 years.

The difference between physics and philosophy scores is the same as the difference between the biology and philosophy scores.

>> No.4181368

the LSAT is designed to assess Reading Comprehension, logical, and verbal reasoning proficiencies.

Intelligence is impossible to quantify, and even if it was possible, it would be based on a lot more than those 3 things.

>> No.4181382

>>4181266
the lsat tests you on your skills of logic and reasoning. It shouldn't come as a suprise that philosophy, physics, math and other majors are on the top of the list.

Also: this is why fucking china elects engineers to office.

nah. also,
>implying the LSAT is a good indicator of overall intelligence

how does it feel to know philosophy majors are spending tens of thousands of dollars to do what I do in my free time at an equally high intensity and quality?

>> No.4181452

Isn't the LSAT for law school?

>> No.4181474

The number of people who took the test and participated in the study matters as well. Honestly, there should be accompanying diagrams weighing the differences.
