Here's today's feel-good story:
A team of researchers has shown that people in professions that we've long put on a pedestal due to their superior intellect, such as neurosurgeons and rocket scientists, are not actually smarter than the general public.
The researchers took 329 aerospace engineers and 72 neurosurgeons and tested them in areas of working memory, attention, emotion processing, information recall, and more.
Initial findings saw that neurosurgeons showed a significant difference with better problem solving but slower memory recall.
