Do you think short people are intelligent?

I'm only 4'9" but nobody's ever act as though I were stupid. In fact, everybody who barely knows me always thinks that I'm such a bookworm and a serious person who probably studies a lot. I'm sorry to hear that some people treat short people that way. I've always been fine with my height. Nobody's ever made me feel bad about it. I like being tiny! ;-D Personally, tall people (my friends are taller than me) love leaning down on me to hug me he he he he...And they like helping me out to get stuff located in/on high places that I can't reach. They feel useful and I feel glad for their help. ;-D

I forgot to ask how is your baby doing?

I'm 5' and not quite half an inch so I'm short! I can't honestly say I've ever felt patronised because of my height. I've certainly experienced people being patronising toward me in the past but I don't think my height (or lack of height!) had anything to do with it. There again I wear heels a lot so unless people see me without shoes on, or on the very rare occasions I wear flats, they maybe don't realise how short I am.

When I read this question out loud my 11 year old said "yes". LOL! Of course she would. Both my ex-husband and ex-boyfriend are short, possibly shorter than me and I am 5'2", and they are both dumb as doorknobs. I don't think height has anything to do with intelligence. I think economic status does as those with more money can afford a better education. But body stature means nothing.

I dont think that smaller people are any more stupid than taller people.. i know short people who are completley stupid and i knwo othr short people who are so smart it's unreal..

Yes, it is strange. I think maybe it's because short people are also cute, which is why they are seen like children. On the other hand, people taller than the average can also suffer from the stereotype of "dumb giant." But knowing that the average for one geographical reagion can either be smaller or taller compared to others should make you feel better.

This is funny because just a few days ago my cousin told me the same thing. My landlady is pretty short but she's very brilliant. I stand less than five feet and people think I'm smart. Someone even said I'm a virtual genius LOL but I can't admit that. Anyway, I can mention short people who have giant brains like Carlos P. Romulo, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jose Rizal, David Ben Gurion--Israel's first Prime Minister, Marcos, ex Sen. Juan Flavier, Ehud Barak and many more.

if short people are intelligent maybe our country is not like this for our president is a short person.

Whether short or tall, we are all human beings and we must respect each other for that. We must not gauge each other by physical attributes and intelligence is just relative. It doesn't depend on physical structure at all. Most of the great stalwarts in history have been short in stature, but that doesn't mean there haven't been great personalities who were tall. But intelligence depends on us and how we want to develop ourselves. IQ tests are not the final answers to intelligence. Somebody who's not good in logic might be intelligent with something else. Nobody is stupid and nobody is a fool.

Hello, my friend....I am 5'1" and 46 yrs old...I have experienced this from people who are taller than me all of my life...of course, not everyone but alot of them...for some reason they do not respect the fact that I have grown to the perfect size for me... I maintained a 3.8 throughout college and have held many supervisory positions in my life... It seems strange to me that height is just another thing to be judged on...lol

The only thing I can say here is that never judge people by their physical appearance. Short or tall people have their own intelligence and capability. The only setback probably will be that tall and good looking people always have a better chance in a job interview.

Well I'm not a "healthy"/"sexy" 6ft or taller male but I've never been judged as unintelligent due to my height. I have however been mistaken for being much younger due to my size (and face). And that comes from a whole range of people.

Ok. I think Einstein is not even that tall. But really, I think if you have been intelligent since young, and you are the type who spent the night standing, eventually, lack of sleep may cause your growth in length. Thus, making most of the intelligent being short. :P

Don't underestimate your height. I am even shorter than you are. I only stand 5 feet. It's understandable with our race being an Asian. But even if you are not an Asian and is still short for your standard race, don't underrate your height or your self. See, you are a genius. There are many short people who are smart, intelligent than taller people. Carlos P. Romulo, a Filipino who has become the UN President is short, only 5' if I'm right, but he is very intelligent, smart and has the x factor. Other member nations of the UN 'look up' on him. Our present lady president Gloria Arroyo is only 4'11. But look at her. She is very smart, bright with strong personality. She does not look short at all with these characteristics. Stand out, even if you are short and other people think you are. Outsmart them in many ways like the way you dress, talk, walk (with head up high, work. Goodluck.

My gf is petite. And I see her cute and sassy. Despite of her height she still manage to make herself equal to those who u call average people. And besides our president is short too. If ever u have encountered the name Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. She's short but see where she stands. All I can say is that height is not a big thing. It's how you deal with yourself. If you feel short other people will see that too. If you feel tall and walk tall inspite of you being small, they'l see that you're something and cannot be discriminate.

I guessed they are sometimes treated like that because they are of the same heights as those child. But when it comes to thinking , every one can judge people unless they share their insights to anyone. Actually, the standards is not depending on the height but the substance even a tall or short people will try to share with. Brain is working.

i think it is not very right. but most time the tall men are not very clear i think. here is a talk about it. good body bad brain.

Why should short not be intelligent,they are like us the only difference is that they are shorter ,a lot of short people are geniuses,that was told from somebody tall i am 1,83 cm ;)

Hi!although i am a tall guy i have seen people make fun of peole who are shorter. But from my experience i can tell you this short people are either extremely intelligent or cunning.all my friends who are short were good in studies and got jobs much easily. Dont worry about what people say about you, definitely you have something special in you.

i don t tthink so some short persons may be intelligent but some short persons may be idiot iq is about education and family not about weight or lenght
