A new British study says that being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon doesn't necessarily make someone sharper than a commoner.

Neurosurgeon, rocket scientist or you: who’s the smartest?

A new British study says that&nbsp;being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;necessarily&nbsp;make someone&nbsp;sharper than&nbsp;a commoner.

&lsquo;It&rsquo;s not rocket science&rsquo; is a phrase that has long been used to denote the intellectual rigour required or not required to do something.&nbsp;But a new British study says that&nbsp;being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon&nbsp;does&nbsp;not necessarily&nbsp;make someone&nbsp;sharper than&nbsp;a commoner.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Researchers compared&nbsp;test&nbsp;results&nbsp;of&nbsp;329&nbsp;neurosurgeons and&nbsp;72&nbsp;aerospace engineers against 18,000 members of the UK public,&nbsp;all&nbsp;of whom&nbsp;took&nbsp;the Great British Intelligence Test&nbsp;(GBIT)&nbsp;which examines&nbsp;aspects of cognition, like planning and reasoning, working memory, attention, and emotion processing abilities.&nbsp;
Publishing the findings in the BMJ, the team&nbsp;said that only neurosurgeons&nbsp;showed&nbsp;a significant difference from the general population and that was&nbsp;their&nbsp;quicker problem-solving speed but slower memory recall.&nbsp;This may be due to the fast-paced&nbsp;nature of neurosurgery.&nbsp;Meanwhile, rocket scientists&nbsp;scored&nbsp;higher&nbsp;than neurosurgeons&nbsp;for attention and mental manipulation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Are you smarter than a rocket scientist&nbsp;or neurosurgeon?&nbsp;
What this essentially means is that everyone has a range of skills, some may be better at certain skills but it is quite unlikely for one person to be the best at everything.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;it might be time to ditch the rocket science idioms and&nbsp;use something like &lsquo;It&rsquo;s a walk in the park&rsquo; or &lsquo;It&rsquo;s a piece of cake&rsquo; instead.

Researchers at NYU have discovered in a study that having someone to listen to you when you need to talk can lead to greater cognitive resilience.

Supportive conversations can boost your brain health, say scientists

NYU&nbsp;researchers&nbsp;have discovered in a study that&nbsp;having someone to listen to you when you need to talk can lead to greater cognitive resilience.

Listener availability made a positive difference of 4 years&nbsp;in ageing
We should seek good listeners and become better listeners ourselves

Researchers at&nbsp;NYU&nbsp;have discovered in a study that&nbsp;having someone to listen to you when you need to talk can lead to greater cognitive resilience.

A good heart-to-heart conversation with your best friend can take care of all sullen moods. And it seems like the benefits of supportive communication do not end there.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Researchers from New York University (NYU) have discovered in a study that&nbsp;having someone to listen to you when you need to talk can lead to greater cognitive resilience.&nbsp;This resilience is a measure of your brain's ability to function better than would be expected for the level of physical ageing or disease-driven changes in the brain.&nbsp;
Essentially,&nbsp;holistic social interactions in adulthood&nbsp;can help counter ageing-related&nbsp;cognitive decline and even stave off neuropathological changes such as those common in Alzheimer's disease.&nbsp;
Published in JAMA Network Open, the study&nbsp;found&nbsp;that having a good listener&nbsp;made&nbsp;a positive difference of four years for people in their 40s and 50s.&nbsp;The study analysed self-reported data from 2,171 participants, with an average age of 63.

While the research does not clarify the biological logic behind the power of good listening, the findings make a definitive case for seeking good listeners&nbsp;in our&nbsp;lives&nbsp;and becoming&nbsp;better listeners ourselves.
