But several of our more productive posters/commenters did little to no college math. That might be a weird exception for philosophers, though.
I'm also not sure college math/science is a sufficiently narrowing criterion.
Well, yes. That was an example; the point I intended and may not have been clear about was that specific content knowledge might be a more accurate way to narrow the set than a quantified measure of general intelligence. There are probably tons of extremely smart people who have never been exposed to the subjects which would make them productive LW contributors.
