High intelligence lowers the assessment of one's own appearance

The study revealed a link between intelligence levels and appearance self-esteem. People with high scores on logic tests are more likely to consider themselves less attractive.

The link between intelligence and self-perception

Scientists found that the better participants performed on thinking tasks, the lower they rated their attractiveness. This confirms the thesis that high intelligence can enhance critical attitudes toward one's own appearance.

Study figures

On average, people rated their appearance at 58 out of 100 points. This figure is significantly lower than those who did not pass the intellectual tests.
