Doctors and lawyers have very similar average IQs, typically estimated in the 120–130 range, which is well above the general population average (100).
There is no strong evidence that one profession consistently has a higher average IQ than the other.
Why They Appear Similar
🩺 Doctors
- Must score highly on science-heavy exams (e.g., MCAT in the U.S.)
- Strong analytical and quantitative reasoning
- High working memory and pattern recognition
- Long academic filtering process (undergrad + medical school + residency)
⚖️ Lawyers
- Must score highly on logic- and reasoning-heavy exams (e.g., LSAT in the U.S.)
- Strong verbal reasoning and abstract logic
- High reading comprehension and argument construction ability
- Competitive law school admissions process
