Let's do the math: 28-10 = 18

So 18% have a graduate degree which is not an MBA or JD. I don't know what % of that is PhD level, but presumably not an insignificant number. So that pie chart does not say whether most have a Masters.

You said:



and



Were you not saying that CEOs are average there?

In the United States (which is more educated than much of the world), census figures show 11.57% have an advanced degree, yet your chart shows 68% of CEOs do. Again, the math here is simple.
Yes, the math is simple, of all the groups, from not having a higher education through a PHD, the largest group of CEOs have an MBA, 40%.

Now since most MBAs graduate with average grades, and they do, then it's fair to say that of the largest group of CEOs (40%), the majority of them have an average level of business education.

If you have something supporting your claim that most CEOs are not average, I'd be happy to check it out.
