 Well it was. Now the average is 90 not 100 any more and most of the scientists are not. They just publish papers of some of their helpers and students in their name and get famous for things they never did. Today most of the people under the spotlight are friends of friends and not very smart people. Anyway no, if you check the few test made in universities,.while you see some more that 100I.Q I can tell that if you are 2 to 3 deviation more than that you cannot tolerate to give as sure assumptions that not even your teachers can justify or explain. Very smart people never even finish college because they don't need that.
