TALLER, SMARTER, RICHER

In the past I’ve reported on research which suggested that tall people earn more money than shorter folks, with a height advantage of four inches equalling an average of 10 percent higher wages. Now we have research which might explain this phenomena. According to a study done at Princeton University tall people are actually smarter than the rest of us. After analyzing data from studies which followed British and American children born in the years 1958 and 1970, the researchers concluded that “as early as age three — before schooling has had a chance to play a role — and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests.” (Reuters)
