Glasses Are Not The Definition for Geeky
Written by WTJ on March 27, 2008 – 2:58 pm -A lot of people tend to have the prejudice that people who wear glasses are either nerdy or geeky. Currently I owned 3 pairs of spectacles (one of them spoiled). Sometimes my glasses give people the impression that I’m a smartass, and that’s TRUE. HAHA!
“Myopic people do indeed score relatively high on measures of IQ and educational attainment, and intelligent people are commonly stereotyped as introverted, reserved and bookish,” they wrote in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science.
Prof. Paul Baird from University of Melbourne’s Centre for Eye Research Australia said that wearing glasses doesn’t mean one is either nerdy or geeky, but they are smart.
