Since IQ tests are made by academics it is only natural that academics will do better on it, so yes.neyzenilhan said:what is the average IQ of physicists?

The average IQ of physicists is estimated to be around 130, which is considered to be in the high range of intelligence.
Studies have shown that the average IQ of physicists is higher than the average IQ of the general population and other professions. However, it is important to note that intelligence is not solely determined by IQ and there are many factors that contribute to success in any given field.
There are a few factors that may contribute to the high average IQ of physicists. These include a strong aptitude for problem-solving, high levels of curiosity and creativity, and a strong foundation in mathematics and science.
Yes, there have been several studies that have found a higher average IQ among physicists compared to the general population and other professions. However, it is important to note that these studies may not be representative of all physicists and their findings should be interpreted with caution.
Having a high IQ may help someone excel in certain aspects of physics, such as problem-solving and critical thinking. However, there are many other qualities and skills that contribute to being a successful physicist, such as hard work, perseverance, and strong communication skills. Therefore, while a high IQ may be beneficial, it is not the sole determinant of success in the field of physics.
