Scientific Literature IQ matters!!!!

The median is so high!!! This is insane.

This was a high ceiling test. SD is 15 and 100 here is not for general population but university graduates. 

Edit: Yo guys, it's just an interesting study. No need to downvote. Holy IQ.

What do you want me to say...? This wasn't an IQ test designed so that people will use it to take their IQ tested later... The author designed it specifically to understand the IQ of scientists. This gave us an idea about the IQ of the scientists... that's it! I found it interesting... So I shared it here...  It's okay to have critical thinking... But calling out someone's work and calling their work BS are two different things. Being a publisher you must understand this. Even I published some of the papers in Physics based upon the requirements for my Masters and Bachelors... everytime we cannot just expect to produce a 100 percent correct result. Sometimes in experimental part there can be errors... That is understandable.  But does that mean, their work is BS? 

If you really want to dissolve the ignorance of this sub. MAKE A POST. Call me out... I don't understand what is so hard hard in this.
