Examples of most intellectually demanding jobs are air traffic controlling, cryptography, accurate simultaneous interpretation, software engineering, design of complex chip/devices, neurosurgery, mathematics and physics. Music is the most intellectually demanding artform, and motocross is one of the most mentally demanding sports.
