http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2012/01/classicists-are-smart

Not surpriesed to see fysisists as the smartest. Sumwot surpriesed to see filosofy students do soe wel. Espeshaly skoring hier verbal skors than linguists. Not surpriesed to see edukaeshon and fysikal edukaeshon at the botom. Moest surpriesing for me is that peepl hu study clasiks skor so hie. Mie surpries is probably bekus i never spoek met enywun hu studys that.
