researchers in the Czech Republic wanted to see whether or not people can
determine
whether or not someone's intelligent just by looking at their face
now the way the researchers did this study is they took a group ugh eighty
students forty men forty women
and these college students were then at it take into a room where they took an
in-depth IQ test so their intelligence was measured that way
and then they took pictures it was just a picture in their face where they had a
neutral expression
well at that point other researchers need respondents to look at those
pictures and determine whether or not
these people are intelligent so another 160 participants
I actually assess the photographs judging the subjects attractiveness
and intelligence on a scale of 1 the highest-ranking
27 the lowest ranking so
surprisingly enough the Raiders were able to estimate intelligence
with an accuracy higher than chance from static
facial photographs men but not from photos of women
so their were certain things that
a differentiated a smart face from
a dumb face Kiwanis Park for a second and
I laugh a little bit at the idea of a smart race in a dumb face I know it's
ridiculous it's ridiculed
so this is something I always found really fascinating because a lot of
people will judge a book by its cover
you'll see a certain person you'll say that person looks kinda dumb
whether or not we want to believe that about ourselves I think a lot of us make
judgment calls based on the way other people look
and this is a perfect example ovett its kinda interesting that both men and
women can determine the intelligence of a man based on the way he looks
but not for a woman no i outed us being well man in a couple different ways
I'm and I love that it turns her what time you can judge a book by its cover
number k
if you think that guy looks like an idiot he just might be an idiot
paid it's so what it says about men is that we're not very good at covering up
what we actually are right and so
if you look at a guy here is coming because aaron is over he might be that
guy
but what if anything I perry made a facial expression right in these photos
they don't make a facial expression they're very neutral
but the or participate in who rated their intelligence
%uh looked at specific facial features like
how far apart their eyes are so let me give you the specifics on that is really
interesting because I want to be able to tell a dummy from far
away so so a lot of course this is only in regard to men that they were able to
find any type of distinction when it came to women
faces that are perceived as highly intelligent are rather prolonged
with a broader distance between the eyes a larger knows
a slight upturn in the corners of the mouth and a sharper
pointing less rounded Chen so the funny thing is
now it really i mean are you gonna be able to look at the a distance the
I is an all this stuff right but as and it was reading that
I was thinking much chin ish not rounded already sharpened I gotta kinda a big
nose right on I am I i've
showcase for so dank we all know you're really smart guy oh ok or you actually
fall under the category
what a dumb guy would look like yeah
like a contrast the perception have lower intelligence
is associated with broader more rounded
faces with eyes closer to each other a shorter knows
declining corners of the mouth and a rounded and a massive chain
I
yeah well that's good that means the as Bush you say
illness underestimate me okay
okay the trick in a reason to keep expectations low so
yeah yes okay so one thing that I wanna
Claire 5 well for you guys is that this is one study
and the methodology is it 100 percent sound so you should take it with a grain
of salt
obviously they should do more studies into this to see whether or not there's
nothing we say that every 90 minutes
weaker like but like who is they're all one study
yet so Am I you know this is true of course not but yeah i do think that a
boy is it is an interesting data point but I'm just saying that more research
needs to be done to whether or not you can actually determine whether or not a
guy is done based on the way you look eileen is being a general statement to
you too
and every other community there yank correlation
does not keep all causation okay exactly
please for christ sake we know that already
okay stop saying that stop sayin every story we do about a study
judges once taught me college is not a girl called
good mood okay we know we know we're not saying that this is Bob
biblical back which have been ironically would be totally false
well baby we're saying that it's an interesting study
okay and just because he will urge Shane doesn't mean you're an idiot
Jay Leno did well for himself you have a large chin I have alert
bit save the large but it's not like pointy
now now which is large you know sometimes they compared to Jay Leno
billion looks with you yeah which I don't want to be on that flattering
but people like that if anyone me
me tonight
