Physicists

Does not pass

• Perform complex calculations as part of the analysis and evaluation of data, using computers.

  reason given most often: no existing check settles it · 19.6% of the role's time · $684M · passed by GPT-6 Sol · the models disagreed

• Describe and express observations and conclusions in mathematical terms.

  reason given most often: no existing check settles it · 16.8% of the role's time · $585M · waiting on a check

• Design computer simulations to model physical data so that it can be better understood.

  reason given most often: nobody can tell quickly whether it worked, and no existing check settles it · 14.0% of the role's time · $486M

• Analyze data from research conducted to detect and measure physical phenomena.

  reason given most often: nobody can tell quickly whether it worked, and no existing check settles it · 13.5% of the role's time · $470M

• Teach physics to students.

  reason given most often: nobody can tell quickly whether it worked, and no existing check settles it · 9.4% of the role's time · $326M

• Develop theories and laws on the basis of observation and experiments, and apply these theories and laws to problems in areas such as nuclear energy, optics, and aerospace technology.

  reason given most often: nobody can tell quickly whether it worked, and no existing check settles it, and a failure is too expensive · 6.5% of the role's time · $226M

• Report experimental results by writing papers for scientific journals or by presenting information at scientific conferences.

  reason given most often: no existing check settles it · 6.1% of the role's time · $211M

• Collaborate with other scientists in the design, development, and testing of experimental, industrial, or medical equipment, instrumentation, and procedures.

  physical work, outside the screen · 5.7% of the role's time · $198M

• Write research proposals to receive funding.

  reason given most often: nobody can tell quickly whether it worked, and no existing check settles it · 4.9% of the role's time · $171M

• Observe the structure and properties of matter, and the transformation and propagation of energy, using equipment such as masers, lasers, and telescopes, to explore and identify the basic principles governing these phenomena.
