Are blue-eyed boys and girls more brilliant?.

[oldeyes]

I wish there were a study on individual brilliance. Everyone is brilliant in at least one aspect.

I have a friend who is autistic who may not do well with test scores, but he is a stellar golfer and is always eager to shake your hand. No one can greet like him. And a little girl I know who has Down's Syndrome is love personified. Again, she may not have done well with cognitive function-based testing, but she could fill a stadium with her loving presence, and it's impossible to be around her without smiling. I did very well academically, but these two people teach me more than the education system ever did.

We are all brilliant.

I'm off my soapbox now.

...Who is funding this stuff?

Rich blue-eyed morons who failed kindergarten at age 10 and wondered if there was something particularly exceptional about their performance.

Fortunately for them, they found an academic who needed a refresher course in how to frame a hypothesis. This stalwart discovered and administered tests developed by blue-eyed researchers working with rare blue-eyed monkeys. Unsurprisingly, brown, black, gray and green-eyed students didn't understand the test and failed to sparkle academically each time the test was given. Also not surprisingly our professorial genius managed to overlook the fact that only blue-eyed students stayed awake for the duration of the test.

What utter poppycock!

I trust the East Indian, Chinese, African, South American Indian (etc.) cultures aren't too dismayed to learn their dull-witted, non-sparkling achievements are the inevitable result of their inherent intellectual inferiority.

Did atticus ever get into the eye discussion properly or was it just a statement?

For those that missed Charles Q&A re eye colour - post 1498

If i entertain how Charles paints the 'character' of a basic 33 person
I would suggest the 33
view the color of your eyes
as the Dog Whisperer does

so then they can create 'an invisible boundery' if so desired
doing this calm and assertive
and make you wag your tail when obeying or whatever you lack in proper behaviour
and which you do gladly
and love the pack leader for it

because thats how it's done

What happens when you have one blue eye and one brown eye. could that mean you can excel at being a heart surgeon and a quarter back for the top foot ball team in the country, lol. This is meant to be light hearted folks ! I happen to have two blue eyes which do tend to change from blue grey and brillian blue from time to time.

[Alliamber]

Thanks Zenith I knew I'd heard about this! It's scary how quickly those kids became like the Hitler Youth.

[Calz]

As one of those peeps with blue eyes let me say this:

We come here in many lives in every capacity in every size shape and form to learn what we must to advance.

No doubt we have blue faces in others places as well???

It's all good!!!

[EC1000]

personally, i think to make any sort of judgement about a person based on a physical trait is a bit narrow minded-that goes for the concept behind this article and also what charles was saying in his thread.

ps. blue eyes and did horrible in school but that was probably due to extreme lack of interest

David Bowie has got one brown and one blue

This is known as "heterochromia iridum", although it is not clear if Bowie fits this category.

Seen as there is discussion on eye colour over at the 'false flag thread' I thought it worthy to discuss the colour of eyes here.

The colour of your eyes could determine your achievements in life, say scientists.

They claim those with blue eyes are more likely to sparkle academically than those with brown.

They are more intelligent and gain more qualifications because they study more effectively and perform better in exams.

In reaction time trials conducted by U.S. scientists, the brown-eyed performed better, making them more likely to succeed at activities such as football, hockey and rugby.
But the researchers concluded that those with lighter eyes appeared to be better strategic thinkers.

Joanna Rowe, professor emeritus at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, who conducted the tests, said the results suggested a hitherto unexplored link between eye colour and academic achievement.

"It is just observed, rather than explained," she said. "There's no scientific answer yet." Dr Tony Fallone, senior psychology lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire, who has also studied eye colour, believes it should be taken more seriously as an indicator of personality and ability.

Most babies have blue eyes but they usually darken as the pigment melanin builds up in the iris.
Less melanin produces green, grey, or light brown eyes. Eyes with very little melanin appear blue or grey.

Ross.

Faulty study though isn't it? All brilliance is to these people is the amount of useless textbook info one can store. I mean they say in the article "they study more effectively and perform better in exams.". The intelligence they measure is only relevant to the information it's based on in this case. I don't think this is the kind of thing Charles meant at all. The eyes are the gateway to the soul not an indicator as to the amount of gypsy text book info one can retain and regurgitate onto a written assignment.

Reppin' for the brown eyed folk haha,

Aldous

[Dragonfly]

This study must be wrong. Though I'm blue-eyed, I ended up on planet earth. So where is the brilliance - or is it vice versa?

i have "shockingly" blue eyes, and i'm an idiot.

LMAO. Me too
well actually I have chameleon eyes (must be the reptile dna ) they are blue, with some gold in the middle. they tend to fluctuate between blue and green. hmm maybe I'm occasionally brilliant? I believe my school teachers would heartily dissagree with that though!

Personal experience. My first born has brown eyes. He could talk in small sentences at 12 months. We never knew when he stopped memorizing his story books and started reading on his own. He was a year ahead in school. By the time he was 12 he knew what his career was going to be in. He got his first job on his own as 12 working on Saturdays at a Computer store about 5 miles away. He would go in and build systems and they would pay him in hardware credit so he could support his habit. At 14 he attended every 2600 club meeting religiously and started working downtown billing clients out of quickbooks after school and on the weekends. By the time he graduated highschool he could program in 7 languages and knew assembler. At 18 he traveled to England and France teaching computer security. Today he is well regarded in the computer security industry and has won pwnie awards at the Annual Blackhat Conference and has been a speaker the last two years. He has spoken at Microsoft Blue Hat and he is only 27 years old.

And my husband used to yell at him to get off his computer each night and go to bed. He would say "You will never make any money doing that!"

And he never had to go to college.

.. and he's afraid of girls?

[Jean-Marie]

No he has been in a relationship with a girl who is the love of his life for 6+ years. She has a bachelors in psychology and is working on her masters.

No, and the only reason I put this out here was to show that Brown Eyed people are just as brilliant as blue eyed people. I don't like your humor and will no longer entertain you.

[Inelia]

Green eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes, which is more worthy? More significant? More important? More intelligent? More powerful perhaps?

I do know it can be used to divide people.

This study I think might be of interest, has been proven over and over again:
