Beauty = Intelligence?

Orang yg cakep cenderung pandai pula. Itu hasil penelitian yg dilakukan oleh orang Inggris. Wooo, pantesan Chris Noth yg cakep bisa lulus dari Yale School of Drama. Yale punya tempat bergengsi di daftar ranking universitas top di seluruh dunia, kalo ga salah masuk 10 teratas. Bisa studi di sana ya bagus banget, berarti bukan orang sembarangan gitu loh. Hmm Chris Noth emang pandai, udah gitu cakep dan keren pula. Klop dah teori di atas.

Beautiful men, women are more likely to be smarter with high IQs, too: study

By Michael Sheridan

Beautiful people don't just get all the breaks, scientists say they're likely smarter than most people, too.

A study in England conducted by researchers at the London School of Economics found that attractive men and women generally have higher IQs.

"Physical attractiveness is significantly positively associated with general intelligence," said LSE lead researcher Satoshi Kanazawa, in the latest issue of the journal, Intelligence.

The study indicated attractive men have IQs that are 13.6 points above the average, while beautiful women are 11.4 points higher than average.

Since intelligent men are more inclined to achieve more success, they are "more likely to marry beautiful women," Kanazawa said. "Given that both intelligence and physical attractiveness are highly heritable, there should be a positive correlation between intelligence and physical attractiveness in the children's generation."

The study included 52,000 people from both the United Kingdom and United States.

However, Kanazawa insists this should not be considered justification for believing beautiful people are better than everyone else.

"Our contention that beautiful people are more intelligent is purely scientific," he said. "It is not a prescription for how to treat or judge others."
