Taller people are smarter: study

[CMC122]

My father is only 5'6 and he is very smart! Maybe some shorter people are smarter 'cause they are making up for being short. :shrug:

Or they have big feet

While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.

Well DUH!!!

i could have told them that and saved them millions in research dollars..

I know. I'm not short like those stupid people.

I don't know where they get these weird studies and why they bother to publish them. It is not my experience that height has anything to do with intelligence. I know plenty of tall people who are dumber than hell, and short people who would blow your socks off because they're so smart.

In movies and TV, the dumb guy or the mentally retarded guy is ALWAYS enormous. Stereotypes don't come out of nowhere.

Hmmm... so Vrai... how short, er, tall are you?
