What is the mean IQ of health care workers? To get a sufficiently large sample (GSS, no immigrants), I included the following jobs: physicians, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists other health diagnosing practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, physical therapists, speech therapists, and other therapists.
For the whole group, I get a mean of 104.8. Not good. For occupations with at least 10 survey respondents:
Mean IQ
Physicians 114.5
Dentists 108.4
Registered nurses 104.6
Pharmacists 108.2
Dieticians 90.9
Physical therapists 110.6
Speech therapists 104.6
Other therapists 109.4
All of these numbers are discouraging. Don't take advice from a dietician.
What about race? We can only look at the overall mean for all healthcare providers. For whites, it's 105.9; for blacks, 96.1; and for other races, it's 99.2. A little bit scary.
And gender? 109.9 for men, and 103.5 for women.
I'm an RN. IQ (using GRE proxy)is >120. I'm fairly bright, but not exceptionally so among my peers. I wonder where the dull nurses and doctors are working. It isn't in my mid-sized hospital. Perhaps I simply overestimate my peers.

ReplyDeletePT and other Therapists above Dentists? ReallY? That is very hard to believe. In addition the scores here in general are way below what other studies have shown, with Doctors in the 120-130 range. RN's not even hitting 105 is also hard to swallow, unless LPNs and CNAs are also included here.
