Would you rather go to a 150 IQ doctor or a 90 one? Why?

  I would rather ask more questions before deciding on my doctor. How well do they listen to me? Are they willing to give me time, or do they treat their patients as an assembly line? Do they continue to read up on new research, or are they relying on their 30-year-old med school degree? Are they someone that I'd be comfortable talking to about very personal matters? None of these questions have anything to do with IQ, and I frankly have a hard time thinking of an IQ-related question that would matter to me in selecting a doctor.

    Imagine all you know is their IQ and don't deflect. >None of these questions have anything to do with IQ They do, big time. Knowing their IQ allows to make a very good guess on who reads more, who would listen and, in general, do their job better.

    Let's make the question more tricky. All you know are two things: * One doctor is white, one doctor is black * One of them has IQ 90, the other has IQ 150 You are allowed to choose based on this information only. (I am what many people would call an "alt righter" and I would choose the doctor with IQ 150). I'm curious how other demographics would answer (white liberals, etc.)
