Intelligence researcher Jacob Pecheneg disagrees. He only halfway accepts one outcome.
Someone says, “If any of these three characteristics apply to you, you are smart.” Article from Elle magazine:

The older, the wiser This was found in a study with young adults. In addition, a large head indicates intelligence.

For example, people still think that classical music makes you smart.
