People with IQ's of 80-90 are a little on the slow side but may be found in fast-food restaurants, day-care centers, etc. They may also be found in unskilled jobs. About 16% of the population has IQ's in this range.

People with IQ's of 90-110 generally occupy semi-skilled positions, including typists, receptionists, assembly line workers, and checkout clerks. They are able to keep up with the world, and comprise about 46% of the public.

People with IQ's in the 110 to 120 range fill the skilled trades and include some tool and die makers, teachers, and Ph. D.'s among their ranks. They also make up 16% of the population.

People with IQ's of 120 and above tend to staff the professions as doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, and college professors. They fall in the upper 10% of the population.

The average IQ of all college professors is 130, which lies within the upper 3% of the general public.

Please save your anti-intellectualism right wing babble for somewhere it might be believed.

Interesting and informative (honest), but it still does not mean that having a degree makes a person intelligent; it just shows that intelligent people tend to go to college. That's not a right-wing babble, that's going purely off your post.

I would also like to mention that creativity is just as valuable as high intelligence. Maybe you could whip up some magic percentages and let us know how many jobs are held by creative people. More importantly, please let us know how many professions were created by creative people.

You guys are getting worked up over something stupid. Some people are really poor public speakers. Look at the president. He looks like an absolute moron every time he opens his mouth on camera. And while it is funny to see, there is no way he is that stupid. He is just a poor speaker [he is still probably not as smart as most other presidents], if he was really as dumb as that in day to day life his handlers would have replaced him with a chimp by now, as they would be easier to reason with.

your barking up the wrong tree, this was intended for the poster I quoted, who does alot of anti-intellectualist right wing babble

I never said college degree = intelligent, but the studies show that the average college graduate score above average on intellignence test.

There are exceptions to every single rule, but then again we are talking about averages here.

I never said anything about creativity, your overreacting.

But to act like obtaining a college diploma is easy and requires little intelligence is false and should be pointed out as such.

Chuck is a smart guy, you dont become a champion in MMA by being an idiot. He usually has a great game plan and executes it well, he doesnt make stupid mistakes, all signs of intelligence.
