These are no physics majors.
No, but philosophy and English (and French) literature majors have traditionally been on average quite smart. I really don’t know about library science, so I’ll believe their data. As someone else pointed out, none of these averages are especially high.
My point re: the physics anecdote was that engineering majors, while smart enough to do the work aren’t necessarily all that smart. And again, these are the majors to which high school students aspire—lots of those hoping to become engineers won’t make it.
Physics are subsumed under “physical science”. Physics was my intended major.
