Lawyers fall behind in IQ study
« on: February 27, 2009, 04:42:35 PM »
"Lawyers have become less intelligent compared to the average person over the last decade, research from the Centre for Market and Public Organisation
(CMPO) has revealed.

The study compared IQ scores for lawyers born in 1958 to those born in 1970 - who are currently climbing the ranks of law firms and barristers’ chambers.

Lawyers in the earlier group scored 11 per cent better than the average, but the 1970 group were just 8 per cent more intelligent.

This was a greater fall than the majority of other professions where the gap narrowed by around 1 percentage point." Huh?
