[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 5 smartest people I have known are/were in: academia, journalism, engineering, medicine, and research science.
I also know some very smart people who are teachers, social workers, artists, musicians, and lawyers. I know a lot of people in IT fields and while most are bright, they usually don't seem very well rounded/intelligent in other areas besides strictly IT stuff. To some extent, this is also true of many engineers and medical doctors as well. [/quote]

I’ve met exceptionally bright people in every field but will honestly say the smartest and most impressive people I’ve met are journalists, think tank types, high ranking diplomats and military professionals.

While people in trade professions such as medicine and engineering are smart and can retain  industry jargon and understand specifics of their field, I’ve foujd that most are incredibly dumb. Doctors who have no idea how to talk or know who Ben Bernarki is. Engineers who can build a rocket but don’t know anything about Charlie Wilson and the Mujahideen.

The smartest people in the world are well rounded, intellectually curious individuals who have grasped the full breadth of the human experience, history, government, sciences and all. It’s far more impressive to know the trajectory of human development across time and space than to only know the nuts and bolts of how a computer is put together. You need to be a visionary.
