A member asked:

I've always wanted to be a doctor. i took an iq test and it told me my iq was 115. above average. is this good enough to become a doctor with?

No: Just like anything in life intelligence guarantees nothing. You will need a track record of good academic performance, an ethical demeanor and determination. That and 115 will get you an md. I am sure there are doctors with low IQ who have worked very hard and achieved great success.

IQ/Doctor: Yes - if you study hard, are very motivated, have a good memory, like working with people, and want it badly enough, you can become a doctor. Study hard!
