physics phd average iq

What is the average IQ of PhD students and academics? Are they REALLY smart?

The question of intelligence and its relationship to academic achievement, particularly at the level of a PhD, has always been a topic of discussion within education policy and academia.

It is often assumed that those who attain a PhD are “really smart” and possess superior intelligence, as measured by traditional IQ tests. 

While the average IQ score of PhD students and academics, according to some studies, falls in the ‘superior’ range of around 125, this doesn’t exclude those with an average IQ from undertaking a PhD.

IQ tests can only measure a fraction of what we consider as intelligence, and the score obtained is influenced by a range of factors.

Many university professors and PhD students exemplify not just high cognitive abilities but also exhibit qualities like dedication, creativity, and problem-solving skills. 

The average IQ of PhD graduates and students

According to some sources, the average IQ score for people with PhDs is around 125, which is considered superior.

However, this does not mean that people with lower or higher IQs cannot obtain a PhD, as IQ is only one of many factors that influence academic success.

Moreover, IQ is not a fixed or definitive measure of intelligence, as it can vary depending on the test used, the context, and the individual’s background and motivation.

Here is a table of the range of IQs mentioned for PhDs in some studies and their citation:

Can You Get a Ph.D with an Average IQ?

Yes, you can certainly pursue and successfully complete a Ph.D. with an average IQ.

Completing a Ph.D. is not just about high intelligence or academic prowess.

It requires a unique combination of traits such as resilience, passion for the research subject, and the ability to execute ideas into practice.

Understanding that the path to success involves overcoming numerous challenges and setbacks is crucial.

• Developing a genuine enjoyment for your research will help maintain motivation during the years spent pursuing the degree.
• Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application through effective execution is essential.

Therefore, having an average IQ does not preclude you from achieving a Ph.D., provided you can cultivate and leverage these other critical traits and skills.

The IQ Myth in Academia

Completing a PhD is not just about having a high IQ or acing undergraduate courses.

It entails a mixture of different characteristics that, when combined, contribute to one’s potential to successfully finish a doctoral program.

These traits can be better encapsulated in the following table:

Not everyone who gets a PhD has a high IQ. 

I have seen many average students get a PhD because success often relies on much more than IQ. It is a combination of Luck, persistence, IQ and supervisor choice. 

The term “smart” is multifaceted and can mean different things to different people. However, in a general sense, we often use it to denote a combination of:

• intelligence,
• and wisdom.

In this context, individuals who have obtained a PhD degree are certainly well-educated.

They have pursued a subject matter in depth, contributed original research to the field, and demonstrated the ability to think critically and solve complex problems.

That said, the choice to pursue a PhD isn’t necessarily an indication of “smartness” if we consider wisdom or the ability to make well-informed, prudent decisions.

Some people embark on a PhD journey without a clear understanding or vision of what they want to achieve at the end, which might not be the wisest decision.

In some cases, individuals may choose to do a PhD because they’re uncertain about their career path and see it as the path of least resistance.

This, too, might not be considered a smart move, as a PhD requires significant investment of time, energy, and often money.

It can also be a stressful and challenging endeavor, so it’s crucial to have a clear purpose and motivation when making this commitment.

On the other hand, a PhD can indeed be a smart choice for those who have a clear objective that aligns with the skills and opportunities offered by such a program.

This might include a deep interest in research and academia, a desire to contribute to a particular field of knowledge, or specific career goals that require or are enhanced by a PhD.

The features of a person with high IQ scores

A person with high IQ scores might exhibit the following features that may be beneficial for a PhD:

• Longevity & Health : A high IQ is associated with longer lifespan and better overall health.
• Resistance to Stress Disorders : High IQ individuals may be more resilient to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.
• Success in Education & Occupation : They are likely to achieve educational success and gain higher occupational status.
• Higher Income : High IQ often correlates with higher income levels.
• Less Sensitivity to Disgust : High IQ individuals tend to be less disgust-sensitive, although the exact reason is unclear.
• Non-Impulsivity : Despite higher IQ, these individuals may not necessarily exhibit less impulsive behavior.
• Intelligence Despite Disorder : It is possible to have high IQ and still have disorganized behavior or difficulty implementing long-term plans.
• No Correlation with Industriousness : Surprisingly, there’s no apparent correlation between high IQ and industriousness (the tendency to work hard and diligently). The reasons for this remain unclear.
• Physiological Differences : People with higher IQs tend to have slightly bigger heads and brains (when controlled for body size), thicker axons on their neurons for more efficient electrical message transmission, and faster simple reflexes.

The above are general tendencies observed in some studies and may not apply to all individuals with high IQ scores.

Also, correlation does not imply causation, and many factors can influence these outcomes.

Wrapping up – Intelligence and PhDs

While it’s common to link high IQ scores to academic achievement, specifically at the PhD level, this isn’t a definitive measure of intelligence.

The average IQ of PhD students and graduates is approximately 125, but that doesn’t exclude those with an average IQ from pursuing a PhD.

Success in academia depends on more than IQ; resilience, research passion, and the ability to turn theories into practice are all key traits.

It’s important to highlight that undertaking a Ph.D. isn’t inherently an indication of “smartness”.

Some choose this path without clear goals, which, given the investment required, might not be the wisest decision.

On the other hand, for those with specific career goals or a deep interest in research and academia, pursuing a PhD can be beneficial.

High IQ individuals tend to have certain traits, like longevity, resistance to stress disorders, and higher income, but these are general tendencies and not applicable to everyone.

Conclusively, the relation between intelligence and PhD attainment is nuanced and impacted by several factors.

Invisible Geniuses: Could the Knowledge Frontier Advance Faster?

Posted in: Data, politics and policy , Economics , Education , Science and research policy

Ruchir Agarwal is an economist at the IMF. His research interests are in the fields of macroeconomics, financial economics, and economics of innovation. Dr Patrick Gaule is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Bath. He specialises in the economics of science and innovation.

The production of knowledge is often perceived to be the archetype of a cognitively demanding activity that requires some form of innate or natural ability (talent). PhD physicists are reported to have an average IQ in the neighbourhood of 140 . Yet, there has been little systematic study on the extent to which talented individuals become knowledge producers (or not), and how talent translates into knowledge production more generally.

In a new paper , we study how knowledge produced over a lifetime depends on talent displayed in teen years in the context of mathematics. We use a unique institutional feature of this discipline: the International Mathematics Olympiads (IMO), a prominent worldwide competition for high-school students. This setting allows us to measure talent in teenage years by their performance at the IMO. Since all participants in a given year answer the exact same questions, IMO performance is eminently comparable across multiple countries. We follow these participants over their lifetime and evaluate their lifetime knowledge production.

We find that even in this group of teenagers in the extreme right tail of the talent distribution, small differences in talent are associated with sizeable differences in long-term achievements, including getting a PhD in mathematics, number of mathematics publications and cites, and being awarded a Fields medal. For instance, each additional point scored on the IMO by a participant in their teenage year (out of a total possible score of 42) is associated with a 2.6 per cent increase in mathematics publications and a 4.5 per cent increase in mathematics citations over their lifetime.

Yet, this relationship does not hold equally across countries. Compared to their counterparts from high-income countries who obtained the same score in the IMOs, participants born in low- or middle-income countries produce considerably less knowledge over their lifetime. A participant from a low-income country produces 35 per cent fewer mathematics publications and receives over 50 per cent fewer mathematics citations than an equally talented participant from a high-income country. The cross-country income group differences in mathematics knowledge produced reflect in large part the fact that participants from low- and middle-income are considerably less likely to do a PhD in mathematics.

Does it matter that talented youngsters from developing countries are lost to mathematics? We estimate that knowledge production could be 10 per cent higher in terms of publications and 17 per cent higher in terms of citations if developing country participants were not lost to the world of science. But the loss could be larger still considering extreme outcomes. The chance that an IMO gold medallist will become a Fields medallist (the most prestigious award in mathematics) is fifty times larger than the corresponding probability for a PhD graduate from a top 10 mathematics programme.

Why are developing country participants less likely to become professional mathematicians and produce less mathematical knowledge? Research and training capacity in the home country seems to play a role. However, other factors may also be at play. For instance, developing country participants may have different preferences or private incentives to enter different types of careers, in particular if careers outside mathematics pay more. Future research may further elucidate the role of different factors in cross-country differences in the utilisation of talent.

Various policy interventions could be used to ensure that extremely talented individuals from developing countries are not lost to the world of science. First, fellowships and financial support for top tier talent could enable such individuals to study at top tier European or American institutions, where they would access to the very best mathematics education. For instance, MIT is a pioneer in this type of activity: it does an international outreach and provides needs-based financial support to a number of international undergraduate students. More institutions could run similar programmes. Second, strengthening mathematics research and training capacity in developing countries could not only improve the training of those who prefer to stay in their home country, but would also make mathematics research careers more attractive to them.

While our research has focused on mathematics, talent may also be important in other fields such as biomedicine and computer science. Policies to encourage exceptionally talented youth to pursue scientific careers — especially those from lower income countries — may facilitate the advancement of the knowledge frontier both in mathematics and beyond.

Write a response

My IQ was tested at age 9. It was 160. I am 77 now and no longer particularly smart, but that isn’t why I am wrong this response. I went to very poor schools until about 7 or 8 months before I took that IQ test. Then I went to a very good school for about 3 or 4 months. Then I didn’t go to school for about 3 months. I came from a school system where you could start in February, so when I started the new school system, which was on the whole year system they automatically held me back. I didn’t want to spend time being bored to death in school so I pushed myself really hard and aced everything pretending that it was because I had already had all of that stuff, while the truth was that it was all very new to me from the good school which I had attended for a few months. If it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have been able to pull that off. After 2 weeks of pretending that the work was old stuff for me, they pulled me out and gave me an IQ test and advanced me to the next grade, where the teacher always berated me saying that with my IQ I should be doing much better, not that I was doing badly, I just wasn’t making straight As. Well my point is that how much is lost in our own country, when poor kids are often stuck on overcrowded schools in classes where many kids are slow and the teaching is aimed at the lowest level. Little kids brains are like sponges and even more so if they are high I Q little children. Prime learning years almost wasted. I wasn’t really culturally or intellectually deprived at home, like a lot of poor children , although home wasn’t an intellectually rich environment like the homes off better off children. When I was a little kid I loved to learn. I was thrilled with the homework that I got at that goog school that I was at for a few months. That’s cool that put me ahead was a pretty good school, too. It would have been better if my teacher wasn’t so mean about my not making straight As. We moved to another city and I went to an intellectually average school for 2 years, not particularly challenging, but not boring at least. Then after that very good schools and I was always in the most advanced classes. School was interesting, but by this time I was more interested in boys than studying. If the subject was particularly interesting I might put a lot of energy into it, but otherwise, I was just too used to getting by with no effort. My point is identify the really smart kids when they are very young and give them appropriate schooling. A lot was lost with me due to my early school years being a complete waste. My younger brother, who spent 2 1/2 years less in the school that taught nothing than I did and also had an intellectual advantage, because I taught him to read at 4. No one taught me so I didn’t learn until 1st grade. His IQ weirdly enough was measured at 159 and yet he was always miles smarter than me. He was always amazing people with his intelligence and yet we had essentially the same IQ. He did have one natural advantage that didn’t come from from schooling though, he had an amazing memory. I never did. My memory for details was always pretty average, although until very recently, once learned, I would never forget a concept and I learned new things lightning fast for the most part at least for the first 5 decades of my life. He did seem generally smarter than me, though and it was not just his amazing memory. I would probably never had his talents, I just wasn’t born that way, but the lack of education school being an exercise in boredom until I was 8 1/2 didn’t help my brain development. If really smart kids can be identified early and educated appropriately, I believe their potential would stand a much better chance of being realized. From what I have seen in my life is many really smart poor kids living I slum neighborhoods where the schools are poor grow up to be gang leaders, because they are so much smarter than their piers and the bad guys have all of the money and the glamour. All children deserve a decent environment and decent schools, but what is society loosing by wasting these children in poor schools. Instead of someone who may discover a cure for cancer, you may get a master criminal. There is potentially a nearly untapped pool of brain power right I. Our own country. Let’s find it and make the most of it.

Does IQ change with age?

Yes, your IQ can change over time. But [IQ] tests give you the same answer to a very substantial extent, even over a period of year. The older you are, the more stable your test score will be. The most volatility in IQ scores is in childhood, mostly in adolescence.

Is IQ genetic?

Researchers have previously shown that a person’s IQ is highly influenced by genetic factors, and have even identified certain genes that play a role. They’ve also shown that performance in school has genetic factors. But it’s been unclear whether the same genes that influence IQ also influence grades and test scores.

Can IQ change?

What is the IQ of a mathematician?

In terms of IQ, I think mathematicians are averaging something like +2 SD (>= 130). They are certainly “geniuses” (or “gifted”). But they themselves don’t think they are geniuses, because by that word they mean +4 SD (>= 160) people. “Genius” is like “rich”: as actually used, it’s implicitly a comparative term.

Can You Get a Ph.D. with an Average IQ?

• by Ernest Panfiloff

Do you want some opinion on whether you should try getting a Ph.D.? Not so sure if your IQ is adequate? Want to know how to get a Ph.D. even if you have an average IQ?

Not everyone can keep up with the coursework, and not everyone is willing to take the time and put in the effort to complete their studies. So, what can you do if you’re average-intelligence and want to get a Ph.D.?

In the following section, I will tell you why an average IQ is not a reason to quit getting your Ph.D. Keep reading to know why.

What does a Ph.D. mean?

In essence, a Ph.D. is a doctorate. It’s the highest level of education you can get in any field. A Ph.D. requires an extensive amount of time and effort to complete but becoming a doctor, engineer, or scientist with a Ph.D. is a surefire path to a career and salary success

A Ph.D. is earned after completing a doctorate program, which is a rigorous process that typically takes 4-7 years. A Ph.D. usually requires coursework and research-based projects. Most Ph.Ds are actually doctorates in a specific academic field, such as medicine, philosophy, or a science-related field.

A Ph.D. is one of the most difficult degrees to earn. A common question for those considering getting a Ph.D. is how hard is it? It varies, but the answer is not difficult at all. A doctorate will require a lot of commitment, but gaining a Ph.D. is not impossible. The hard work is worth it once you earn the degree, and once you do, you’ll be in high demand.

Can a person with a low to average IQ get a Ph.D.?

Yes, you can get a Ph.D. with low to average intelligence , provided you have the right motivation and desire. Most Ph.D. programs require you to score between 130 and 140 on the GRE, but this is by no means a guarantee.

Some people are just born smart, while others have to work extra hard to be considered smart. Not everyone can score high on a standardized intelligence test, but some people still manage to get Ph.D.s. Some programs don’t require a high IQ, but you’ll often still need to demonstrate critical thinking skills, as well as show drive and passion for the subject you’re interested in.

What is the average IQ of people who get Ph.D’s?

The IQ of people who have Ph.Ds is a topic of ongoing debate. Some claim that Ph.Ds have the highest IQs, while others say that a Ph.D. does not correlate to higher intelligence. The truth is no one knows for sure, but there are several theories.

A recent survey by The Economist Intelligence Unit found that approximately 32 percent of people with Ph.D.s in the US scored between 130 and 140 on the IQ test —a finding that’s in line with what other studies have found about the average IQ of people with Ph.D.s. 

But, while “average” is a useful descriptor, it’s not a perfect one. That’s because IQ is a composite score made up of several different factors, IQ scores tend to vary by gender, and IQ scores tend to change with age. So, although a person with a Ph.D. may have an average IQ, that doesn’t mean they have an IQ that corresponds to their education level.

Things to consider to get Ph.D. easier.

Getting a PH.D. degree is considered one of the hardest things a person can do. Having to work and go to school full time for years at a time is not for everyone, and it can be extremely expensive. The education you receive in a Ph.D. program is highly specialized, and you must earn a high-grade point average to make sure you pass all of your classes and graduate.

Here is something you might try to make it a little bit easier:

1. Less Math required

More than average people struggle with math, and if you are one of us, you might want to consider getting a doctorate that deals less with math.

2. Less math required

The same thing with math, Science is really complex, and not all are adept at understanding it. Play to your advantage to make things easier.

3. No GRE Requirement

If you are a Ph.D. student, chances are you have felt frustrated by the GRE requirement, and you may be thinking if you can get a hold of the degree without taking one. If yes, you might want to consider choosing a Ph.D. program that doesn’t require a Graduate Record Examination or GRE for short.

4. No dissertation requirement

Doctoral or Ph. D dissertation or thesis writing involves extensive and critical research work. The main aim of this kind of writing is to provide relevant and authentic information. 

Students are supposed to meet all the requirements laid down by their professors to get good grades in their academics. Therefore, they find it hard to write their dissertations due to multiple reasons.

But not all doctorate degree is required to make one.

5. No residency requirement

In the past, getting a Ph.D. required that you took classes in a college or university and lived on campus. But these days, there are online Ph.D. programs that do everything except make you study on campus.

 If you choose this option, you’ll be responsible for making sure all your own class work is finished and turned in on time.

6. Online learning options available

An online Ph.D. program is a flexible, convenient way to earn a Ph.D.. Online learning is becoming increasingly more common, and more and more institutions are offering online degrees.

7. Aligned with your interests and strengths

 Finding an academic program that is aligned with your interests and strengths is critical for a successful experience. It is also important to study a field that you are interested in and have a strong grasp on that field so that you will be able to sustain your interest throughout your lifetime. Understanding the field that you are studying will help to ensure that you are capable of performing research and that you will be able to conduct and publish your findings.

In conclusion, yes, you can get a Ph.D. with an average IQ.

I would strongly recommend it. Yes, it will be difficult to obtain a Ph.D. with an average IQ, but it is not impossible. Obtaining a Ph.D. is a rigorous process that will challenge you in new ways. However, there is a lot of reward in it as well. It develops your character, makes you more motivated, and helps you to learn a lot.

Hope I have shed some light on this topic. Wishing you the best of luck in getting your Ph.D.

The average score of an IQ test, administered to a large sampling of the general population, has been consistently around 100. This is within the range most people would consider to be smart (or normal), and it’s an appropriate baseline for establishing the standard deviation. If you were to take 10 people at random and test them for their IQ, you could expect that the average score would be 100, and you would also expect that the difference between the lowest and highest score would be about 15 points.
