Short people are less intelligent.

I believe that the following passage pretty much tells it all.

"Other explanations further qualify the positive correlation between height and intelligence, suggesting that because the correlation becomes weaker with higher socioeconomic class and education level, environmental factors could partially override any genetic factors affecting both characteristics."

Basically, if you have enough money not to be malnourished, social factors are a much more substantial influence. I also just love how stuff that there is no explanation for is always being used to further the hatefest against us. Some of the research people always use in making these assumptions is based on "maximum height potential." What those studies found is that if someone reached their maximum height potential, they tend to be more intelligent. Here's how that got misplayed. Let's say your Mom is 5'8 and your dad is 6'4, and your maximum height potential was 6'2 as the result. On the other hand, let's say my Mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'7, and my maximum height potential is 5'5.

Let's say you grew to 6'0, and I grew to 5'5. In this scenario, I would've reached my maximum height potential, and you wouldn't have, thus, I would probably be more intelligent. However, the way the studies get represented states that the taller person will always be more intelligent even if they don't reach their maximum height potential. Maximum height potential is based on subjective height potential based on your family, not on how much taller/shorter you are than any given third party, but the studies always get interpreted in the way that is least flattering to short people. It's awful to see this play-out time-and-time again, but this is the type of BS that short people put-up with in silence.

Welcome to the forum! This was an excellent first post, and we need more input like people such as yourself in these parts. I was certainly pleased to see your post, which points-out one of the major issues that we face.
