What's your level of formal education?

[Quintessence]

I don't know, I'm just curious about this.

For comparison, in the United States the levels of educational attainment are roughly (per 2015 analysis of the census):

• 88% are high school graduates
• 59% have some college
• 42% have an associates
• 32% have a bachelor's
• 12% have an advanced degree

There are no significant differences by sex assigned at birth, though there are significant differences by race unfortunately. Data from (PDF file): https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p20-578.pdf

How do we stack up?

I wonder what education level people with political leans have in relation to their social views. I’m curious if there is any new updated studies.

Masters Degree in Math but I've read a lot and have the working memory IQ of 149/a genius. My creativity is very very high and I don't know why they don't measure it and I am cerebral. I have also read nearly 1000 books and read a lot on the Internet.

There seems to be a lot of well-educated people on this site. Nice!

it should be pointed out that these figures are *cumulative* scores while the poll breaks things down by highest achievement. That changes the 'look' if not the content of the stats.

I'm surprised you included an MS as an "advanced degree".
Everybody has one of those.

I didn't finish high school.

Neither did I. In fact I dropped out of high school twice. I dropped out, then they put me in an alternative high school and I dropped out of that. When I became an adult and was living on my own, I went on to get my GED, then I took my college placement tests, enrolled in college and did very well academically. For some of us, high school is just not challenging enough. If you tried you might find college more to your fit. I majored in mathematics (statistics option), in high school I failed pre-algebra three times. In high school they told me I had a learning disability, in college they gave me recognition and scholarships for my excellent performance.

Intelligence is more about determination, perseverance and hard work than anything else.

B.S. in Computer Engineering.

Parenthetical aside....
I have a recurring dream about being in college, falling behind in
work, & having an epiphany that it's better to quit than persevere.
Starts out as a nightmare, but morphs into a dream.
