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.

Obviously your intelligence is waaaaaaaaayyy above average. Millions of people still haven't figured this out.
I hate to be unkind, but I agree with you, Deci. I'd give the woman an I.Q. of 105, the man 90.
Good grooming (hair, nails, etc.) can make a huge difference. Just look at sites of movie stars without make-up. Shocking.
How about the ones who squander their wealth on multiple wives and girlfriends! That's smart? (And I'm a doctor.) (And still married to the same, fabulous, brilliant, beautiful woman I first married! And the mother of my GORGEOUS and brilliant children.) (Who are ALL conservatives and registered Republicans!)
Come to think of it: Conservatives tend to be much better looking than "Liberals." Maybe there's something to this study after all.
“Well, we’re certainly showing a little more cheek than usual, aren’t we?
I’m afraid all your problems are behind you now...”

Nailed!
I have never wanted to be a cassette tape so badly in my entire life.
Paying multiple alimonies is like being a serial killer with only yourself as the target...............
The most dangerous thing in the world is self-deception (denial), and it is illusion.
The other most dangerous thing in the world is hubris, and if Hollywood is anything it's hubritic!
The Left is very dangerous, and Hollywood is overwhelmingly to the Left.
It all makes sense, but it tends to refute the results of this study.
Once I said in passing to the friend that his partner must be very rich. He replied that he would be but that he had been married multiple times and his wives took most of what he had earned.
Some people are very smart in a limited way--like idiots savant--but otherwise very dumb. Many college professors fall into this category--though many of them are just plain dumb.
Some of the dumbest people I've ever known have been in Mensa.
This is absolutely true. Just don’t confuse “beautiful” with “beautified” (which is Hollywood...)
I hate to be unkind, but I agree with you, Deci. I'd give the woman an I.Q. of 105, the man 90.
And the next guy might see her as gorgeous. And that's fine with me.
This topic has interested me for quite a while, and one lesson that I have learned is that it is utterly impossible to judge intelligence from either a picture or at first sight.
Even after a polite conversation it is not always apparent.
I tend to buy this study, at least to a certain degree. The most physically attractive women that I’ve known over the years tend to have an IQ in the 110-125 range.
I knew a few beautiful wimmens whose i.q. was 362436
Two words - Albert Einstein.
Two more - Stephen Hawking.
Leftists constantly whine about the growing income gap but they are also beginning to attack the growing beauty gap. It won't be pretty. There is now a 10% tanning tax that applies mainly to Caucasians. Leftists are doing their best to address the growing brains gap by canceling advanced placement classes and running a race to the bottom in the public schools.
So the democrats want free plastic surgery for everyone?
Breast implants for women is a constitutional right?
Sarah Palin versus Michelle Bachmann? That’s a tough call. It is alleged that Einstein believed the tax system was the hardest thing to understand in the world, much harder even than physics. As Einstein is the gold standard of human genius, whatever he says about the matter *must* be correct. Therefore, since Bachmann is a tax lawyer and Palin is not, Bachmann is smartest. We therefore do not reach the problem of inferring intellect from beauty, as the question of intellect has been satisfactorily resolved on independent grounds.
It now becomes clearer how "climate science" can be so wrong, in so many ways.
Bob Ward, of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics, said the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached 390 parts per million, its highest level for at least 800,000 years and almost 40 per cent higher than the level before the start of the Industrial Revolution.
He said nine of the 10 warmest years since records began in the 19th century have all occurred since 2000. Last year was the joint warmest on record, according to new figures from Nasa, that experts say confirm the case for man made climate change.
Sounds more like The London School of Junk Science.
Pelosi wouldn't even blink at that, even if she could.
