Maybe not. Lots of engineers and scientists are avid sf readers, some are even writers. In my first grad school (Masters Social Work) I had an engineer roommate. He and his fellow engineers gobbled up more sf generally than I did and I'm an avid sf reader. I figured they were smarter than me and could read faster. Most of the social workers weren't avid readers.
In my second grad school (MS/PhD Info Systems) - switching POVs from humanities to sciences - some of my colleagues were avid readers and some weren't. And switching POVs didn't change my general choices of preferred reading material significantly.
