The Facial Expression That Makes You Appear Smarter

The study finds that when judging men just on their facial appearance, there was a relationship with actual intelligence. But when it came to women, there was no relationship between how intelligent people were perceived and how intelligent they actually were. The authors speculate that this is because women are primarily judged on their attractiveness and this swamped any judgements about intelligence. These predictions were in stark contrast to people’s assumptions about the connection between appearance and intelligence.
