There was an interesting study of IQs by college major, showing disciplines such as social work, education and gender studies being at the lowest end of the IQ spectrum. Seems like it would be counter intuitive to ask quite so much from members of those demographics when it comes to educating our children.

- djur 12y agoThe post you link to points out that the IQ values are estimated from SAT or GRE scores, and that most of the difference is explained by the quantitative section of the SAT. What that ends up showing is that social work and education are low-paid, low-prestige fields, which tend to employ more women.
