Beauty is highly subjective and the article doesn’t really explain the study, so - yes - junk science.

I'm ugly as sin, and about 45-50 points above the median. How does that explain me?

On the other hand, my wife certainly fits that profile.

Sorry.... not buying it. I have seen the kids in our Gifted and Talented schools. I think they are all beautiful but they are not “Hollywood’s” version of beautiful. Intelligence and societal accepted concepts of beauty are two different things IMHO.

I always thought Henry Kissinger was a bright guy.

Guess I was wrong.

Excellent demonstration of intelligence.

Don’t confuse intelligence with common sense.

Some of the smartest people I know are dumb as a post when it comes to day to day life (especially life on the streets)

I was a loser dope smoker when I was young- striaightened out my act and went to college for 3 degrees- physics, computer science, and accounting.

So I know everything about everything, now. :)

And what I know most is how stupid smart liberals are. The saying “liberalism is child-like sentiment applied to adult problems” is the most accurate statement. And it is a mental desease in that they are hard to cure of that.

This study sounds like someone just trying to turn the “dumb blonde” assertion on its head. I would think that there would be absolutely no correlation between innate intelligence and physical appearance. How does someone’s face effect their brain? To make this study valuable, the assertions would have to remain true for all humans. Yet physical beauty is discerned in different ways in different cultures. What most Westerners consider beautiful may not be what is considered attractive in Africa, for example. Also, what would be the connection? It is like saying someone with blue eyes is more intelligent than someone with brown eyes. Remember that famous test? Perhaps people who are attractive have more self esteem and answered the questions more confidently. Silly test and one for the eugenics books.

My personal experience proves the findings to be accurate.

Henry Kissinger is an evil bad man, though bright, yes. Just like the pastor said the other Sunday “Brilliant people in Washington writing legislation to take us out from God’s jurisdiction.”

Beauty is highly subjective...

The picture they show (can't post here) bears that out. Those two look fairly average to me.

Doctors and lawyers are some of the dumbest people I have known when it comes to common sense, everyday stuff.
They spend all their formative years in school becoming doctors and lawyers to the exclusion of everything else, unless they had a rock solid parental upbringing where they could learn from their parents about everyday stuff they are usually clueless about.............
