People often take the first impression of facial features, and the other may exaggerate, as the most attractive people are supposed to be the smartest. According to a recent Scottish study.
The study was conducted at St Andrews University on a group of 100 students to measure intelligence through their images. All girls' pictures were chosen with the same character (without makeup or jewelry) and images of young people without a beard, for neutral results.
The researchers found that the most attractive faces ranked the most intelligent, and called these results the name of «aura of gravity», if one took into account the actual academic performance of the person, the real measure of intelligence, the results may not match reality.
The researchers point out that these results confirm the deceptive effect of gravity on the accuracy of impressions in people and on the distinction of efficiency, which can have serious consequences in many areas, such as education and employment.
