Looks = personality, an update

I’ve been saying for a long time that there is a direct correlation between someone’s physical appearance (primarily their face) and their personality. I figured that it would never be proven in my lifetime, with personality being so subjective, and the subtle differences in looks perhaps being too small. But an easier study has been made, between attractiveness (testable by asking volunteers) and of course intelligence can be tested.

Researchers from the London School of Economics (LSE) said that physically-attractive people have above-average IQs, with good-looking men around 13.6 points above the norm and attractive women 11.4 points above average.

The study involved 52,000 subjects, so it seems like a sound result.
