Why do brainlets use charts like this to choose a major or decide "superiority"? I want to understand how the brainlet mind works and this seems to be a common thread between all of them.

Assuming one is proficient at mathematics or physics, then seeing a corresponding measure of intelligence pedestaled high by society is sure to give them feelings of superiority

Since most assume this measure to be a static quantity, i.e. you get what you were born with, then it is not in anyone's power to change it too drastically

Since it cannot be changed and will be prevalent throughout an entirety of existence, those with high numbers parade around, while those with average numbers do not comment on it

Much like being born aesthetically pleasing, knowing that you won't get uglier, you are inclined to think of yourself as superior to those less facially fortunate than you

Are you talking about selection bias? Or are you talking about ostensibly invigorating utilization-based tautological solipsisms by integrating fundamental quid pro quo?

i've seen a few different charts. the other one i saw put engineers at about 110-115 or so. i'm in EE and don't feel inherently smarter than average, especially when it comes to writing. i've always been decent at math tho

I felt for this chart without even knowing it! My IQ match my earth science shill (geophysics and oceanography)

but I can grant you, intelligent people don't even care about this chart, and most of them are making money inside that 'low IQ' shit

Sigh, no one is going to look into your CTMU, Chris. Go back to editing Wikipedia pages.
