It’s time to settle the debate.
Science students are smarter that Arts students. At least, that’s according to date released by ETS. They tested 26,000 students across every degree subject known to mankind.
They found that physics students were the brightest, that science beats the humanities, and that of the humanities philosophers are the brainiest.
Here’s the top 10.
