I’m waiting for the follow up study which declares men with brown hair AND blue eyes are the truly chosen people. At that point I should be set.

In a related study, hazel eyed people were shown to be indecisive and confused. Get off the fence people!

Well don’t forget that you have kids of different skin colors and even same skin color but different economic backgrounds who say “don’t act white” or “don’t be a prep/brain”.
Those peers who hold their “friends” back aren’t friends at all. They are losers who don’t want to be left behind. They drag others down to be their “equal”.

Well, I’m blue-eyed...
But I’m also blonde. I think they cancel one another out. ;-)

I have a cousin with one blue eye and one green eye. Wonder where he falls in this study. I hope that my taxes didn't pay for this funding.
He said that he'd always get stopped at the Canadian border, he thinks it's because his eyes make him look "shifty". lol!

Are we are talking about eye color among “white” people of European background, or are we including Asians and Africans in the samples?
I never saw a blue-eyed African, and it seems to me that if you believe in these sorts of analyses, that would make a difference.
How about Chinese Americans, or India Americans? Or American Indians?
Eye color in these contexts would seem to be a subordinate element.

Well, there you go! Accounts for my genius.
But I was just reading that, along with that study a couple of weeks ago about kids liking any food wrapped in a McDonald’s wrapper better then food that is not, that some people think wine tastes better with a certain label.
So, maybe if we wrap brown eyed people in a blue-eyed wrapper then they be smart too!
Damn, I’m good!
It kind of reminds me of Gattaca.

That's why the study is flawed, of course. They didn't control for hair color. See, I'm blue eyed but with brown hair. So I should be both athletic and smart. Or thoroughly confused. Unfortunately, I think it's more the latter...

Hazel??
What a dumb study. I wonder what color eyes Einstein had, and how about Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar and Hannibal. How about Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Luo Gherig or John L. Sullivan???
I hope our tax dollars didn’t go into as dopey a study as this one.

Funny... and we get an plethora of studies showing the superior intellect of East Asians and Jews... who both happen to be mostly dark eyed.

Did the study control for possible autocorrelations?
For example, African-Americans have a more muscular body (on average) and dominate in professional sports. They also all have brown eyes.
Eye color may be correlated with other factors that really explain the observed differences.
To: 14themunny
Blue eyes= Europe.
In order to survive the once inhospitable waste land Europe was, you had to be a great planner.
Many but not all brown eyed people are from tropical (nice )places.
I bet Bedouins are great planners.
To: JRochelle
Green/Aqua eyes (ie, greenish blue or blueish green...Like mine) : Smarter.
Green/hazel eyes (brownish green or greenish brown) : Not so.
:-D
