Results of I Q Tests among University Scientists The review sums up the results of a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale /WAIS/ test made among the scientists of the Cambridge University. The number of those involved in the test was 148, and the age range was 25 to 34. It has been established that the highest among the IQ scores of the scientific fields represented was those of mathematicians; and that the higher class of bachelor degree implied higher IQ scores. The authors pointed out that the number of those who were classified as "very superior", "superior", and "bright normal" were much higher than the corresponding figures for the average population. A significant finding of the investigation was that the proportion of "very superior" class among the scientists involved was much lower than expected. 575
