They ARE skilled in areas that relate to their jobs but their overall averages were on par with the general public.

We could all learn a lesson in picking the right career from brain surgeons and rocket scientists.

Researchers compared more than 700 neuroscientists' and aerospace engineers' results on a intelligence assessment with the general public. The results were "quite funny, really."

Data from 329 aerospace engineers and 72 neurosurgeons suggests they are not necessarily cleverer than general population

Cognitive test scores attempt to settle an age-old argument

A group of researchers have claimed that aerospace engineers and brain surgeons are not brighter than the general population. According to their fundings published in the festive edition of the BMJ, it was neurosurgeons who were able to ace the problem-solving questions with good speed, but even they recorded slower memory recall in comparison with the general population.

A new study looks at various aspects of cognition among these scientists

Researchers have found aerospace engineers and brain surgeons are not necessarily brighter than the general population, The Guardian reported.It may therefore be best to ditch rocket science and brain surgery idioms for phases like "its a ...
