I see a lot of comments stating that mathematicians have high IQ and high test scores. Is there any data to confirm that or is everyone just speculating?

- godd2 9y agoMathematicians aren't forced to take IQ tests. This could cause self-selection bias.
- _e 9y agoThe IQ test has a predictive correlation to academic success. How should one be classified if one has a high IQ but is stuck in a poor educational environment (i.e. uninteresting/unmotivational teachers or lack of interest in the area of study)?

You could use GRE test scores to compare across subject majors. There may be saturation at the top where further differentiation between majors could be possible if the exam material were sufficiently more difficult.
