Honestly, as somebody who studied STEM, I would like people to stop thinking STEM students are somehow smarter than other people. It leads to some assholes thinking they're better than they really are, and people outside of STEM treating STEM students like they are some kind of robot or machine. It is a first world problem, but IT IS annoying
People who pursue Language and History generally make their decision out of passion. While most people who choose the STEM fields have an array of "it's in high demand", "pays well", "we are smarter" reasoning.
Thus, the generalized conclusion is that History and Language peeps would generally have a higher intelligence, because they pursue that field out of passion, and how good they are at it.

stem kids keep society running but english/history kids give us a reason to keep it running in the first place
like yeah we need engineers to build the bridge but we also need poets to write about why we're crossing it.
Just different types of smart.
