By IndiaToday.in: Is it possible for us to accurately assess the intelligence of a man sheer by looking at his face?

According to a research by a Czech university, it is.

The research, Karel Kleisner's project supported by Charles University in Prague, used static facial photographs of 40 men and 40 women to test the relationship between measured IQ, perceived intelligence, and facial shape.

Both men and women were able to accurately evaluate the intelligence of men by viewing facial photographs. In addition to general intelligence, figural and fluid intelligence showed a significant relationship with perceived intelligence, but only in men. Shape regression on perceived intelligence in men represented by thin-plate spline deformation grids showing differences in facial shape between faces with attributed high intelligence (upper left) and low intelligence (upper right) compared to an average configuration in the middle. Copyright: Kleisner et al According to the study published in PLOS ONE journal, faces that are perceived as highly intelligent are rather prolonged with a broader distance between the eyes, a larger nose, a slight upturn to the corners of the mouth, and a sharper, pointing, less rounded chin. By contrast, the perception of lower intelligence is associated with broader, more rounded faces with eyes closer to each other, a shorter nose, declining corners of the mouth, and a rounded and massive chin. These results suggest that a perceiver can accurately gauge the real intelligence of men, but not women, by viewing their faces in photographs; however, this estimation is not based on facial shape. The study revealed no relation between intelligence and either attractiveness or face shape.

Men and women look their best in their thirties, experts say

Women and men are considered to be at their most attractive in their thirties, a US survey of 2,000 people has found. The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking 'sexy' at 53 and are thought of as 'old' at 55. Whereas men look most handsome at 34, start to age at 41, stop looking 'good' at 58 and are seen to be 'old' at 59. The research also looked at the average ages people started using anti-ageing creams. It was found to be 37 for both men and women, with 42 per cent of women and 18 per cent of men saying they would consider having anti-ageing injections or plastic surgery. Speaking to newspaper the Daily Telegraph, Jillian Mackenzie, deputy editor of Allure, said: 'In the past it (the ideal age) may have been a little bit younger. Anti-ageing is such a huge topic now and people want to look younger for longer. You see celebrities who are looking amazing into their fifties. 'Across the board the ages for men were quite a bit older than for women and it's interesting that men get an extra four years.' What do you think about the results of this survey?
