The ranking cannot be directly read off, but physics is very clearly #1 overall (highest Q together with mathematics, with higher V and W than any of the other math/science/engineering majors), while philosophy is #1 in verbal and writing. And this is in spite of the fact that the general GRE means little for physics graduate school admissions and the fact that we have a very important subject test to focus on.
Not that this should be counted as evidence that physics is superior; we all know that a priori, and this is merely an empirical manifestation of that metaphysical truth...
