Smart, Funny, & Hot: Why some people have it all...
Written by Curtis Dunkel. Are some people smarter than others?

Yes, this is quite an interesting article!

I noticed this correlation as a young woman when I started working with executive scientists.

A lot of "funny and hot" with men is self confidence. I've often found people who are called "smart" are just fast talkers and smooth with it. As for "good at everything" when it comes to school that's very rare in my experience, maybe 3 people in my A level group of 40.

Many of the "Smart, funny and hot" people switch to humanities which largely involves regurgitation or applying a learned set of rules, ask them to solve a problem or fix anything and they are clueless.

Of course "Better looking people get on better with other people at school" - Yes, due to sex and not intelligence.
