Is studying science a benchmark to decide the intelligence level?

I absolutely don’t agree with the premise. Studying science requires one to use different parts of the brain while creating art, music etc. Activates different parts of the brain. Accounting and financial analysis may activate a whole new network in the brain.

Who is to judge that a person with a high ‘science IQ’ is more intelligent than say someone with a high ‘emotional IQ’ or ‘musical IQ’?

I think that scientists appear more intelligent because their brains seem to work in ways that are much different than the majority of the population. My wife excels in Calculus, Chemistry, etc. Much to my amazement. However, I have to revise all of her papers because she cannot articulate her thoughts in written form.

I think her mind works like an equation and she can't express her thoughts with language. Nonetheless, I enjoy speaking to scientists because they are intimately familiar with things that boggle my mind.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
