[ExI] occupation and IQ - two data sets

[John Grigg]

The results of the IQ comparison site mildly surprised me. It seemed to
indicate the average managerial or non-academic teaching position may
require more mental power than I would have thought. But engineers don't
hit the 130 IQ tier, but generally professors do? I find that a bit off,
though I do realize many academics are very bright people. I've read that
military officers usually get higher results from IQ tests than executives
in corporate America. I find that fact very interesting and not really
surprising.

I'd like to see an IQ breakdown among medical doctors, to see how IQ
affects their career specialization, income and performance. And then see
something similar done for lawyers and engineers.
