I don't think the reported IQs are plausible and it looks to me like the distribution is compressed. Some of the definitions of occupations are a bit vague, but take very clear ones like veterinarian (113) and "Mathematicians, Actuaries and Statisticians" (112) which are 4th and 10th highest IQ respectively.
Where I come from admission to veterinary school is about a 96th percentile and to actuarial science around 97th. In IQ terms (mean 100, SD 15) that's more like 125-130 territory as a minimum not the low 110s as above.
At the other end the lowest average IQ is of 419 occupations is "hand packers" (87) at 19th percentile IQ. For sure there is some variation around this but it doesn't seem plausible that the lowest-ranked occupation has an IQ that high. For sure very low IQ people (<70) aren't in employment but what are the rest of them doing?
So overall the IQs seem a bit compressed - it's beyond my knowledge as to what the implications are for the rest of the results.

Journalists being this mentally ill has got to be the most hilarious thing I've read all week lmao
Something about them being up there with "finance officers" who they surely despise is very amusing

A point already discussed in the post.
