/sci/ - Science & Math

>>7479632
Yes.

>>7479632
They sure as hell think they are.

>>7479632
define "smarter"

>>7479640
Jesus fucking christ, that meme!

No.

>>7479632
No, except for engineering and medicine. Physics is usually filled with popsci idiots who were too dumb for the school's engineering department and math is full autists who aren't very bright

>>7479642
>Jesus fucking christ, that meme!
nice meme

>>7479632
If they take the time to be well rounded, culturally speaking. Being an expert in one field doesn't really say much.

>>7479642
define "meme"

>>7479632
Yes, because less females.

>>7479632
Depends on how you define smart.

I would at least say that STEM majors know how to google shit more than non-STEMs

>>7479632
who is this fluid druid?

They work harder

>>7479632
Yes. And not necessarily just because smarter people are attracted to STEM, but also because STEM makes you smarter.

Suck Titty Every Monday

>>7479632
I think so

comparing groups of the same academic level (undergrad, postgrad, postdoc) and controlling other relevant factors like socio-economic class of the institute being considered, yes, STEM students are less attractive than arts and humanities students.

especially when you focus just on physical sciences, engineering, maths and compsci

>40% girls

ayy

No, it's just what nerds tell themselves to feel better.

The average intelligence is about the same across the spectrum. All persons at a particular school need to meet the same entry requirements.

>>7481408
Math faculties have a girl majority in many European countries I know
Physics and engineering is still no-girls-allowed ubernerd country though

>>7479744
You have no evidence to support that assertion.

>>7481418
BWHAHAHAHAHA. You are kidding right? It's sickeningly common wherein an applicant for a school will apply for the arts college and then transfer to the more competitive departments like engineering.

>philosophy is smarter than engineers

>>7481598
well you're not getting much oxygen into your brain by sucking cocks all day tbh fam : ^ )

>>7479632
So basically, is someone who does a degree that lines them up for a decent job smarter that someone who does a degree fit for a barista?

Tough question right there OP.

>iq estimates by intended college major

that chart is the result of high school students picking a bubble at the end of a test

>>7481598
You ever talk to a good philsophy major?
I'm a physics major and they make me scared.
They seem to be able to think on a level that I just can't begin to comprehend.

>>7481806
I'd accuse you of being a philosopher, but you managed to get a point across in a concise and intelligible way.

if you're incapable of philosophy, you're incapable of science and engineering.

The person with the highest IQ is likely some illiterate nomad in the uncontacted jungles of the Amazon, who puts his superior intellect into developing algorithms to find berries.

>>7481848
If you're unable to understand the basic grammar rules, you're retarded.

>>7481911

>>7481848
It's nice to know that I'm capable of philosophy. Thanks for making my day. It's like getting two degrees for the price and effort of one.

>>7479632
I would say typically. There are smart people who just go into what they enjoy even if it's not science related. I'm wondering, do STEM majors get larger pell grants because my pell grants are pretty nice?

>>7481580
>engineers are smarter than computer scientist
ok kid

>>7481916
> If you're unable to understand the basic grammar rules, THEN you're retarded.
Grammatically fixed.

>>7483559
They definitely are if you count the hordes of kids that go into CS and end up switching majors or dropping out.

>>7483559

>>7483573
this
also i agree that it shouldn't be like this , i can't help but notice around the people i know that it is true

>>7483573
Engineers have lots of people go into their majors who wind up dropping out or changing to something else.

please more of this cutie pie.

No. Look at the stats. Look how easy it is to get a top degree in maths in the UK ... and compare it to the amount of students that manage to get the top grade for history degrees (under 13% nationwide and less at the best universities).

Anyone can learn what needs to be learnt for STEM from books and teachers. It can be taught. Not everyone can grasp concepts and be a philosopher or write that outstanding history thesis.

>>7479632
yes

America is a weird country,philosophy and psychology majors in my country are borderline retarded, the first group being borderline retarded and criminal to boot, while people who study medicine are on the same level as engies and spergs.

Underrated post.

Dont underestimate it. It can be very very deep and complex/vague.
