What is your own personal opinion? Do you think blondes are "dumber" than "brunettes"? Women, what about men? Are blonde men dumber? Add in your answer how many hours of television you watch and your highest degree of education (ex. high school, 1hr)

in my opinion, haircolor makes a difference.... not in ACTUAL intelligence, but more in perceived intelligence.
if you dye your hair blonde for a week or 2, people will not take you seriously. intelligent conversation will not get you anywhere... you will find that the only way to get what you want will be to act "blonde".
the bubbly semi dumb blonde act works in our sociey to open doors, get faster service, and to get out of all kinds of trouble.
dye your hair brown, and you will quickly find out that the dumb act doesn't work.
you are expected to be smart and other people will not treat you decently unless you act serious and can carry on a somewhat intelligent conversation.

Of course blondes are not any less intelligent than brunettes. Hair color has nothing to do with the level of intelligence a person has.
I watch about 1-3 hours of television a week, and I am currently a student in high school.

Some blonds are more intelligent and some are dumber, on the same ratio as brunettes and redheads... but, be careful of those blonds that pass for dumb blonds... they are the real smart ones!
The "dumb blond" myth came about from a few movie characters many decades ago... I'm surprised there are people today that still believe that nonsense!
Some of our greatest thinkers never went to college or never gradauted from colleges... college only offers academic training, does not increase one's intelligence. Think of Socrates, Plato, or Ben Franklin, or Thomas Edison or Graham Bell... or Bill Gates!

Hi,
No. The intelligence has nothing to do with the natural
color of hair. It is not scientific to believe such things.
This is utter nonsense.
There is no evidence to support such a bizarre claim.
We find intelligence and dumbness equally in both the blondes and the brunettes.
Hours of television I watch : Less than 1 hour per week
Highest Degree : Masters Degree from a reputed American Universiy - full time course.

I don't think hair color has any effect on intellect. However, I do think that appearance has an effect on personality and that attractive females behave differently because they are treated differently. Blond haired women have been stereotyped for so long that I think a number of women play to that image using their beauty and the perception to manipulate situations. I believe Jessica Simpson epitomizes this scenario and has used the image to make millions.
40 hours of TV per week, read 1 or 2 books per week, post grad degree
I bet you're smart, blond, pretty and pissed. Am I right?

In my personal opinion I believe that no one on this Earth is intelligent.
For the word is something made purely from ego.
What is intelligence? The dictionary definition of intelligence is ridiculous and dosen't really tell you anything of what it is... so what is it?
In my opinion all you can consider "intelligent" is what is beneficial to a life form, so if you are to measure intelligence (in which one who is truly intelligent would not desire) then you may conclude that intelligence can only be measured by ones actions being the most beneficial for ones self and others in the long term!
So in that, then no one becomes more intelligent then another.
As they would continually equal or balance eachother out, in the competitive feild.
It would depend on the persons choices or decisions not on their genetics or whole brain capacity, for we are all simply "different" not wiser then one another or superior.
This measure is only of the purpose for superiority and therefore was created out of unintelligence, because it was created through the emotion of fear and insecurity, that will cause actions from others that are not beneficial to anyone.
When you genuinley look at intelligence then one can only come to the explaination that all that matters to a life form is love, and therefore the most intelligent being would be one who cares for others. For this trait is the most beneficial trait in the human being; as it insures the protection and survival of the species, while at the same time giving equaling energies to one another and allowing for the most of happiness for themselves and others!
So I don't think that being blonde or being brunette, or being red haired, or black haired, would have anything to do with your intelligence.
I beleive we are all of equal intelligence, it is just how we are raised, how much we care for ourselves or others and how we realise and put into practice what actions will genuinely benefit ourselves; as to whether we will actually display these actions that are to be considered that awlful competitive word "intelligent" or what I prefer "Beneficial".

I left high school in grade 10 (Which I am forever proud of)
Cert 3 in Visual Arts
Cert 3 & 4 in Film Production

It depends on the particular blonde and the particular brunette. I have met airheads in all heair colors and geniuses in all hair colors. I have learned not to judge a person by his/her appearances.
I watch as may hours of television as possible.
Post Graduate.

No blonds are not more dumb then brunettes.
However: the stereotype of the "dumb blond" exists and a lot of women confirm to it. Some blonds act dumb, some brunettes die their hair blond and then act dumb. Which perpetuates the stereotype, which makes more people act that way, which perpetuates the stereotype........
Highest degree: 1 year of grad school
