Blue-Eyed People 'Smarter' than Brown-Eyed ?

[dead.cell]

Well, I consider myself more awesome than everyone else in general. The blue eyes are just a perk. :p

[Kreuger]

I highly doubt someone's eye colour affects their intellect.

[sanctified Veteran]

I highly doubt someone's eye colour affects their intellect.

Could be the other way around, still I dont see any strong argument to make this assumption. Lets just call this bogus.

[CelticWhisper]

Brown eyes, 152. Just to contribute another statistic to the pool. I agree, though, that a numeric IQ score is less important than what one does with it.

[OPaul]

Sounds like one for Myth Busters.

[+virtorio MVC]

My eyes are bluer than most and I'm about as smart as a beach ball.

[Berserk87]

Asians are all brown eyed.

EXPLAIN.

:rofl: the study instantly fails apart right there!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I fail to see how eye colour relates to intelligence. :|

This indicates that the mutation originated in just one person who became the ancestor of all subsequent people in the world with blue eyes, according to a study by Professor Hans Eiberg and colleagues at the University of Copenhagen.

The scientists are not sure when the mutation occurred but other evidence suggested it probably arose about 10,000 years ago when there was a rapid expansion of the human population in Europe as a result of the spread of agriculture from the Middle East.

This makes sense, since every Ukrainian I've ever know is blue eyed.

The post title is misquoted.

The report says quite clearly "PEOPLE with blue eyes are likely to achieve more in life than those with brown, say US scientists."

No where does it say the word "Smarter". Therefore comparing IQs is completely pointless.

Yes, people with high IQ may be capable of achieving "more" in life (whatever that means), but no where in the article does it mention intelligence. Are they talking money?

It does mention "better strategic thinkers". However, this is still an ambiguous term to use. And is no measure of "achievement".

HUM : You've misquoted and twisted this entire thread. :(

^ You're just saying that because you have brown eyes ... :shifty:

We all have at least one brown eye. :p

And blondes usually have blue eyes, and they are stupid as hell. Two counter examples to said study.

The research is true then! I haven't "achieved" anything.

Err heres a counter counter to your nonsense i have blue eyes and was blonde when i was younger.....im a senior network engineer for a top medical research company worldwide........I sure sound stupid huh....what tosh!

its p1sh like youve spouted which is a generalisation and to be frank small minded and a tad ignorant (not to mention discrimatory against the way someone is or looks, next youll be saying african descent = you will sink and you cant swim)

as far as the "research" goes what a complete load of nonsense, explain why Asia has more top coders and IT peeps than anywhere else globally....(they all are dark hair/brown eyes)

I can think of another in European History who believed crap like this, that blue eyed people were superior and more intelligent........(ill give you a clue he invaded Poland then shot himself in 1945, not REALLY that wise was he heh)

Apparantly Ex-pats like to troll and be obtuse..... (its ok if ive offended you it was a joke) :woot:

[spenser.d]

While I agree that joking doesn't come across well on the internet, that one shouldn't have needed a smiley - nobody actually thinks that all blondes are stupid.

You're just another oversensitive blonde.

In your mind you think you're smart, in the real world perspective though, that changes.

buddy youd be surprised just how many people actually do, when people ask me what I do for a living they are surprised that im into network security cos of my (whats left of it.......)hair colour.....ever heard the phrase...."doh sorry I just had a blonde moment??"

a /joke at the end would have sufficed ;)

LOLOLOL

if you say so matey ;) i dont think im smart, my qualifications and intellect & professional reputation say that for me (not to mention the fat salary im paid by one of the top medical research companies) but hey ho you can think what you like cos guess what....I dont give a handful of monkeys scrota what you think ;)

btw dood your mommies calling you for your evening meal ;)

[Green_Eye]

So what does that say of people with Green Eye's?

Not that I care :p

:laugh:

[ViperAFK]

well i have blue eyes and an IQ of 148

My IQ is 95, I got an A!

[Hum]

The research is true then! I haven't "achieved" anything.

You have acheived more than I -- be proud. ;)

[SIE]

;) Blue-eyed over brown ? This is just a general observation -- not an absolute.

There are some genius-level Blacks, some nearly retarded Asians, some dumb Whites, and others are above average. No matter what your eye color; green, hazel, or otherwise.

IQ really isn't in the 'genes' -- it is a Spiritual choice -- Intelligence levels are chosen before birth.

It can also be thwarted or enhanced by the individual's Beliefs, throughout their lifetime.

You should be shot for speaking such bollox.
