Taller People Are Smarter

I used to remember an old joke when the doctor said to the patient — ” The good news is that you don’t have an inferiority complex — you really are inferior!”

We have always grown with the discrimination that tall people are smarter, but a new study says indeed they are.

As early as age three and throughout the study, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests, ” says Anne Case of Princeton University, in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Other studies have shown that shorter people usually on average get lower pay as people discriminate and associate height with intelligence.

National studies show that for both men and women in the US and UK, a height advantage of four inches on average means a 10% increase in wages.

Most likely, better nutrition, which contributes to height also aids in abetting the growth of intelligence.
