(Anonymous) 2015-05-02 04:13 am (UTC)(link)And FWIW, I have two degrees and neither of them taught the first thing about statistics. I chose to self-study myself later, but not everyone is going to bother.

Of course not. You can see where I talk about that phenomenon here. I do think having actual knowledge of research and statistics methods does help in being able to understand and critique statistical data one is presented with, even if it doesn't make you immune to bias or framing. You might at least be able to say "hmm this looks fishy. I want to see the methodology before I believe this" whereas someone with no education in research methods would have less of a chance of spotting methodological flaws because they have no training in watching for them.
And FWIW, I have two degrees and neither of them taught the first thing about statistics. I chose to self-study myself later, but not everyone is going to bother.
Generally, the social sciences, the humanities, and STEM fields are ones in which people will have picked up information about research and stats. Not everyone has a degree in one of those areas, but those make up a lot of the college graduates.
Mind sharing what you have your degrees in?
