As a person inside the world of otakus and games, I will tell you without a doubt that this is wrong. Their intelligence is just average. In fact, I will go as far as saying that they might actually be less intelligent than the average person, since they are usually socially inept as well.
What confuses you is probably this: it is not that otakus and gamers are more intelligent, the thing is that smart people usually have these hobbies. You should analize this the other way around.
Yes that is my point. I also myself fall into one of these categories. That is the only reason I noticed it. Most of the kids who graduated honors were known anime nerds. The kids who are great with computers are some of the biggest game freaks I have seen. Another thing is saying that many intelligent people have these hobbies means they make up a percentage of the group. Which is to say that a lot of gamers and anime nerds are above average intelligence. They also tend to be the extremely dedicated fans. My sibling is a gamer and my sibling was always extremely intelligent. Without really trying either.
Is it normal anime nerds and gamer nerds tend to be very smart?
