What is the average IQ of medical students and doctors?
Question:I am just wondering because I hear about how hard medical school is and was wondering if these people just had alot of drive or high intelegence or both...
Answers:
According to the site linked below (with information taken from Hauser's 2002 study on IQ scores for people in different occupations), the IQ range for medical professionals is about 105 to 135.
By comparison, the "perfect average" IQ is 100, with the average range being roughly 90-110. Based on this study, medical professionals skew higher in terms of IQ than any of the other occupation groups included in the study. But it also shows that there are doctors whose IQ scores fall within the average range, and that many doctors must be of above-average but not-too-unusual intelligence rather than extraordinary geniuses.
oh these people have DRIVE man. Intelligence can only take you so far, they're not dumb people, but they are dedicated. Admittedly you wont find really dim doctors, but I'd say drive is more important than intelligence...
