I've always suspected that there is a correlation between physical attractiveness and IQ.

While doing a Google search, I found some sources saying that it is true that people who are less attractive tend to have higher IQ's than those who are very attractive.

However, none of these articles are currently available. Could someone point me in the right direction to find out more?

And yes, it is true. Sources say that it is true. And from my personal experiences, I find that those sources are correct. Me and my best friend are both highly intelligent (98th percentile IQ) and neither of us are attractive at all.

Most attractive celebrities tend to be unintelligent. I recently saw a video on YouTube of Miss Teen USA making a speech. Her speech was so flawed and unintelligent-sounding that I could barely understand it.

Discuss.

It means to give more details/ explain your point more.
basically, anyway.


There are some people who are incredibly smart and incredibly beautiful.

Those people generally suck. Don't forget their gift with sports as well!!

lol...well then...
on one hand, i believe that anyone can be attractive, i mean, some people think other people r ugly and some people might think they r hawtt. so it depends on what you call pretti or handsome or whatevr. and then im thinking, people who r totally gorgeous and beautifull who dont realli care about grades bcuz they think eiher they will bcome models and dont hav 2 study, or they just pay attention 2 how they look sooo much that they 4get about academics...which i think is stupid, cuz u need 2 be smart 2 do anything in this world.

^Totally agree.
But then again they are many people who are very intelligent and also gorgeous. And yeah, there are a lot of celebrities who have no brain whatsoever but I've seen also many of them who are very smart.
