Watch out brunettes, you may have some competition.
According to a study published this month
in Economics Bulletin, the dumb blonde argument
is nothing more than myth.
But you might not need science to make that claim --
just take some of these ladies into consideration:
Meg Whitman, CEO at Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
Yahoo's Marissa Mayer or
Elle Woods of Legally Blonde (in Hollywood terms).
Why the stigma exists wasn’t exactly indicated
in the study, though the stigma of fair-haired
women is one that’s lasted for decades,
especially if they’re pretty.
Economist Jay Zagorsky of Ohio State University
looked at data from baby boomers and information
from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth group
for 1979 who were between 14 and 21
and have since been interviewed at least 26 times.
The specialist also compared hair color
and IQ tests in search of a correlation.
The result? People with blonde hair, especially women,
actually had the highest average IQ scores.
Overall, maybe someone such as
Elle Woods isn’t as unique as society
or Hollywood might like to think.
As always, I wish you success in all you do.
