    rock-bottom of stupid as soon as they step foot outside of their field of study

    That’d be too many people around me, from the qualified kind. I’m not a doctor though.

    Sorry, it’s impossible. It’s normal for people to be what you described. Just human.

    I mean, if you actually manage to create a working procedure for such selection, half the people in the profession will have Aspergers, always red eyes and sleep at work, and the other half will be NT, but some bloody geniuses whose abilities would rather be used in something like fundamental science.

      I know a few people closely that I’d consider a genius. I only know one that went into a field where their genius mattered. He changed fundamentals of microbiology. One high school dropout, one just surviving and making decent money doing whatever they try.

        That’d be one more than I know, if we don’t count relatives.

        One high school dropout,

        My tribe.

        one just surviving and making decent money doing whatever they try.

        That actually sounds nice.
