"physicists at 'palo alto university'? they're not"

If by physicist you mean someone with a PhD, then yes, they are smarter. There are brilliant physicists at state schools, many of whom got their PhDs at places like Caltech, MIT, etc (not even that would matter, however, since physics is just....physics. the graduate texts are the same everywhere and you CAN'T understand them if you aren't very smart). Academia is extremely competitive and saturated.

The IQ threshold required to complete a physics PhD (anywhere) is probably at minimum 130. The IQ threshold required to complete a JD is....well....less. Maybe 120.

Biglawyers are ~135 +/- 5

BigPhysicists are ~150 +/- 5

And probably much smarter in ways that aren't fully captured by IQ as well (like intellectual creativity).

Roughly right for xoxo's generation. Probably lower today but I don't know what LSAT scores are at today.
