Interestingly, in contrast to brown eyes, blue eyes were not associated with intelligence as only 7 percent of respondents thought of blue-eyed people as intelligent. Twenty-nine percent of participants associated green eyes with sexiness, the top characteristic thought to be related to this color.
People with grey eyes are perceived to be the smartest. Blue-eyed people are seen as being the most expressive. Those with green eyes are deemed adventurous.
Charming, friendly, and attractive are just a few words to describe the blue eyed bunch. They are the type to help others and lend a helping hand. The great sense of observation and outgoing personality are just two added traits that come with having blue eyes.
Now work conducted in our laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology suggests that baseline pupil size is closely related to individual differences in intelligence. The larger the pupils, the higher the intelligence, as measured by tests of reasoning, attention and memory.
Blue eyes are rare, making up just 8-10% of the world's population. Blue eyes are caused by a relative lack of melanin in the iris. Just like your skin and hair, how much melanin you have determines your eye color. All eyes are technically brown because melanin itself is brown.
Blue eyes are more sensitive to light. Those who have blue eyes are more commonly strategic thinkers. People with blue eyes are 12% more likely to develop diabetes than people with other eye colors. Those who are born with blue eyes are susceptible to developing a skin condition that's known as vitiligo.
The allele genes come in the form of brown, blue, or green, with brown being dominant, followed by green, and blue being the least dominant or what is called recessive. Given this information, you can determine what eye colors are dominant in the parents.
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.
Blue eyes mean there is little melanin in the iris. Melanocytes respond to light, and since your newborn has spent the last several months in total darkness, there wasn't much light to trigger melanin production in the irises.
While lighter-colored eyes may be more sensitive to sunlight, they are not necessarily more sensitive to vision. In fact, blue eyes have better visual acuity than brown eyes. This means that blue-eyed people can see small details more clearly.
Also, those with large blue eyes usually have better luck in the love department: blue eyes and larger pupils often correlate with youthfulness, along with being attractive. In another poll by social networking site Badoo, 60 percent of men said that they thought brunettes with blue eyes were the most attractive.
Now, a study has confirmed that wearing black makes you appear more attractive, intelligent, and confident, the Independent reports. The study surveyed over 1,000 people to find which colors they most associated with certain qualities.
The allele for brown eyes is the most dominant allele and is always dominant over the other two alleles and the allele for green eyes is always dominant over the allele for blue eyes, which is always recessive.
In conclusion, brown-eyed individuals tend to be perceived as more trustworthy than blue-eyed ones within a population with variable eye color, but it is not brown eyes that cause this perception. It is the facial morphology linked to brown eyes.
Our study revealed no relation between intelligence and either attractiveness or face shape.
Elon Musk IQ is close to this starting point, with an estimated score of 155. The typical genius has an IQ of around 140.
Summary. Geniuses are both born and made. While genetics can explain up to 75% of variations in IQ levels, factors like socioeconomic status and home environment decide whether a person achieves their full genetic IQ potential.
Advantages of Blue Eyes
A big advantage to blue eyes is that research shows they might be linked to a lower risk of developing cataracts. Cataracts are clouding of the eye's lens. According to some studies, blue eyes may have evolved because these individuals were able to cope better with seasonal affective disorders.
A genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a “switch”, which “turned off” the ability to produce brown eyes.
