    Definitely. It's constantly on display as a subtext in these forums. Even if people wouldn't self-identify or even overtly claim that Intelligence is superior.

    I should be clear, that's a pro-Intelligence bias, not necessarily a pro-Int bias. The stat is not the same thing, and the former (being real world) isn't necessarily even what people think it is. So really more a pro-pop-culture-cult-of-Intelligence bias.

    And just so no one gets me wrong: I think that's understandable, because we're mostly smart folks around these parts. <-which is biased thinking. ;)
