I wonder if there is another correlation to support those findings: That a safe mental attitude requires self discipline, and self discipline requires a considerable amount of fore thought, which in turn requires the gift of critical self analysis; ergo intelligence - the ability construct and deconstruct problems logically and rationally.
I am with Slim on this. I would imagine the ambient intelligence of the GA community is within the 10% of the country. Lets face it, if you are a bit t'ick then, although it is not rocket science, you ain't likely to pass your PPL (assuming you have a good enough job to pay for the PPL in the first place) so quite how the follow on assessment was made, I don't know - unless the comparison is relative within the group
