A new study by U.S. scientists finds that people with blue eyes are likely to achieve more in life, intellectually, at least, than those with brown.
Scientists who conducted the tests said brown-eyed people performed better at reaction time, but those with lighter eyes appeared to be better strategic thinkers, the Daily Mail reported. Brown-eyed people also succeeded in activities such as football and hockey, but lighter-eyed participants proved to be more succesful in activities that required skills in time structuring and planning such as golf, cross-country running and studying for exams, the scientists said.

Louisville University professor Joanna Rowe, who conducted the tests, said the results suggested an unexplored link between eye color and academic achievement. "It is just observed, rather than explained," she said.
"There's no scientific answer yet." Bedfordshire University senior psychology lecturer Dr. Tony Fallone, who has also studied eye color, believed it should be taken more seriously as an indicator of personality and ability

According to this article, I am one of the intellectually-challenged ones.

We're smart enough to avoid participation in bogus studies.

How many of the scientists involved in this study have brown eyes? :-)
At the end of her exercise, she explodes the myth, says there is no such research, says this is how easy racism is, and tells people that we're all the same.
Now what will she do?
Regardless, my blue-eyed Mrs. will continue to love her brown-eyed UNTERMENSCH.
I think they’re so full of it, their eyes are brown.

“A new study by U.S. scientists finds that people with blue eyes are likely to achieve more in life..”
What was the eye color of the scientists who conducted this study?
This is so awesome. I can’t wait to pull this article out whenever the wife decides to argue with me. She’s always quoting moronic ‘studies’ on things. We’ll see how she likes this one.
Worthy of note is the fact that all of the scientists involved in performing the research had blue eyes.
I knew a guy who had two different eye colors!..............
