I got this result because I'm a lawyer down to the DNA.
What Egyptian Deity are you? go to:the quiz!
According to the movie Adam's Rib, lawyers should never marry other lawyers; it's called inbreeding, and it produces idiot children. I stand as a proud (?) counterexample. My parents did, however, worry about regression to the mean*, or at least they told me so jokingly, which says rather a lot about my parents and the level of humor in our household.
*Regression towards the mean is a statistical phenomenon: extreme results tend to be balanced out by less extreme results. Two really smart people, for example, may be likely to have a child who's smarter than average, but not as smart as they are.
