Intelligent people, especially at universities, tend to have less sex. A German study suggested academics are at least twice as often incels as other groups (see [[Demographics#Germany|demographics]]). A survey about students from MIT suggested incel rates vary considerably between different fields of study, being the highest for biology and the hard sciences, and lowest in humanities and art.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050527112706/http://counterpoint.mit.edu/archives/Counterpoint_V21_I3_2001_Nov.pdf</ref> It is not entirely clear why this is the case, despite the numerous objective advantages of hi IQ, however many factors are conceivable: | Intelligent people, especially at universities, tend to have less sex.
