Re: Wage gaps between short and tall people? Thread Starter

Why do you agree that taller people are smarter on average? What evidence do you have to supply for this assertion other than confirmation bias?

Can't this same reasoning be used to suggest that men are smarter than women?

Re: Wage gaps between short and tall people? Thread Starter

So then are you saying it is a FAIR stereotype that all Asians are supposedly "smart"? Assuming that Asians are shorter than average using your logic, then the range of Asians who are smart would be short based on Western Standards.

So all of those in the 5'6+ range SHOULD be smarter on average because that would be the taller end of the spectrum of those populations.

Assuming 5'6-5'7 was the average in those countries, those 5'8+ should be the top shelf producers, critical thinkers and the most intelligent, equivalent to guys 6'+ over here. My dad does not believe in the Anne Case paper, though maybe that is because of confirmation bias?

How do you feel about those studies that show taller people are smarter than shorter people on average? Do you believe it to be true or is it just another form of height bashing?

But how do you approach this? Do you assume that you will not get to be CEO or make more money or have you tried and not had success. A lot of the IT and MIS guys that my dad works with are in the 5'3-5'7 range and they make tons of money.
