College majors by Sex Ratio and average IQ
Wow, this is fascinating
Although males and females have about the same IQ, there is a strong correlation between a field's being male-dominated and having a high average IQ.
Looks like this actually turns out to be a correlation between majors with high average IQs and majors that are heavily quantitative. (Philosophy is a notable outlier, a not-really-quantitative major with a high average IQ...but there's commonly a fair bit of formal logic, so that might explain some of it.)
Really interesting.
