Jesse Adams said:How did you even pull that off? If that LIQ Troll hadn't mentioned I'm studying physics, I definitely wouldn't have.
Once again, I have to clarify for the group: we're talking about psychometrics at a group level here, not an individual one.

Seriously? You could never tell.
Jesse Adams said:I don't know. That's a good question, and I don't have a scientific answer for you. I can only offer my own personal experience if you're interested.but what about the idea that education isn't tied to IQ? It's learned stuff, right? Intelligence is supposed to be the ability to handle new situations.
Any test related to intelligence functions like an IQ test and measures g for large populations. Why?
The answer lies in the Gaussian distribution. Other factors follow a Gaussian distribution too, and they balance out once the population is large enough.

The average undergraduate IQ sits at 115—which implies your typical Psychology TA is actually less intelligent than their own students. Makes you think, doesn't it? 🙂

I get where you're coming from.
Nothing personal, but it really bugs me how much harder some people have to grind just to end up with the exact same degree.
Don't even get me started on the paychecks and the actual responsibility involved.
feraltrucker5 said:Hmm... yeah. Honestly, I’m sitting here wondering why this thread even exists in the first place.
Click!
Like I’ve already said: this is just a pathetic, transparent attempt to vent some frustrations and play the troll.
Fair point. I mean, I'm pretty sure the average physics major is a total genius... but there are always exceptions. And let's be real, those exceptions are usually pretty glaring. ☕

Jesse Adams said:Is being insulting really the only tool in your kit?
Ignore.
hiddenhawk3 said:Fine, so you think you're some kind of professor or something?🤷
hiddenhawk3 said:Wait, I actually thought you were heading off to college first. Some people just have this weird obsession with that area, I guess. 😕 I don't know, if you don't have that... I guess maybe you were just wrong. 😛
What kind of salary are we even talking about? You picked your own major, after all. If you're that unhappy with the pay, I guess maybe you should've just gone to business school. 😁
Jesse Adams said:Why do you even care?
coastalhawk13 said:Look, you start out thinking it's all about having a deep love for the industry and then—bam—reality hits you like a freight train. 😂
Btw, you completely blew it. 👍
That's enough trolling for one day...
hiddenhawk3 said:Look, it's a discussion forum, for crying out loud. 🤣
You were the one who decided to make it about oneself by starting this thread. I guess I just want to know if students in teaching programs are actually smarter than those in research tracks. 🤷 🤷
Jesse Adams said:I didn't to make it about oneself. I'm done sharing personal details on a forum after some bad experiences.
hiddenhawk3 said:I guess that means you're probably a professor then.😉
coastalhawk13 said:Look, I'm telling you, I only deal in absolute lightning strikes here... if it hits that 90 mark, consider it a gift. 😂
I can't even begin to wrap my head around why anyone would bother quoting someone else like that. It's just empty space. Give me something real to work with.
Look, I’m just gonna say it: you can't even put Medicine and Economics in the same sentence here in the States. It’s not even a fair fight. A bachelor's degree in Economics feels like a glorified term paper compared to what you deal with in Med school—and don't even get me started on Psychology.

You think you didn't? Who told you that?
Like I said, self-delusion is a nasty habit.😁
It's funny how some people use this weirdly polite, friendly tone just to pat themselves on the back.🤣

Like I said—self-delusion is a nasty habit.😁
It’s funny how some people use this weirdly subtle, overly polite friendliness just to constantly pat themselves on the back.🤣
