Why would it be unlikely? Because programming requires a baseline of logical reasoning ability. Certainly you don't have to be a genius, but I wouldn't expect to find many with IQs below 95 or so. the proportion of mediocre programmers seems empirically equal to the proportion of medicore marketers, sales people, and so forth. That's true by definition. Half of all theoretical physicists are "below average", but I'd expect their average IQ to be well over 100.
