I just saw this on the news and it brightened my day. Aparently tall people are smarter than their vertically challenges counterparts. I guess I'm not only meant to play basketball. Maybe that aerospace engineering thing is for me</p>
<p>what about all the asians?</p>
<p>Some Asians are tall. :) <em>cough</em>.</p>
<p>oh yes there are lots of them.</p>
<p>The website does say the study was only done in the US and UK</p>
<p>And there was also a study that said prayers are answered more than half of the time. Honestly, how can a person study this sort of thing? There are too many independent variables to conclude anything.</p>
<p>not to be racist or anything, but i have a feeling this has something to do with a particular race with a very large population that tends to be short and not so smart...not gonna mention the name</p>
<p>same goes for the claim that tall people make more money</p>
<p>I always knew that men were smarter than women!</p>
<p>Bull. Look at Paris Hilton.</p>
<p>^ LOL
I think it's bull too. :)</p>
<p>I third this as bull. How do you explain all the IMO 15 year olds? Their like 5'5''.</p>
<p>All the what fifteen year olds?</p>
<p>Bah, that's a silly study to do. Seriously, why throw away thousands if not millions of dollars on a study trying to assess if short or tall people are smarter? Did we cure cancer while I was sleeping?</p>
<p>But, hey, don't listen to me. I'm 5'0. <- SUPER TINY.</p>
<p>Maybe theyre doing these ridiculous studies just so they can say theyre doing some kind of research. even if it is absurd.</p>
<p>There could be a small correlation, within a single "race".</p>
<p>I'm really smart and I'm 6'3". That's right... it's true</p>
<p>I'm only 5'7''
but I'm the tallest in my family lol</p>

<p>don't take this the wrong way, but, I've known and seen alllot of Asians, and I've noticed that a fully grown woman (or man) is usually alot shorter than me. I've only seen like 2 or 3 tall Asians.</p>
<p>I always thought I was smart. I was always the tallest in whatever class I was in. Maybe they do have something going</p>
<p>This anecdotal evidence is very enlightening.</p>
<p>now that you mention it, i have noticed that most of the "accademically superior" kids were taller thn the rest.</p>
<p>The smartest people I've know were also the shortest.</p>
