the total scores for the scientific disciplines are consistently higher than those for the humanities and social sciences;
Economics scored #4 and it's not a science. That blows away any credibility this might have.
Economics does have equations and an analytical approach, but its empirical foundations and usefulness are quite dubious, compared to say, civil engineering, or medicine. I would think that medicine would require a very high degree of empirical rigor, and it must be put into practice every day.
This isn't a list of what occupations are useful or even intellectually honest. It's ordered by complexity of abstraction.
- niels_olson 18y agono, it's ordered by score. Also, students applying to medical school don't take the GRE. They take the MCAT. If you are interested in medicine and taking the GRE, you already failed, which may explain the disproportionately low score.
