It has been said time and again: Intelligence is sexy. But little did we know that this statement can be proven scientifically! An article in this week's Economist gives us the lowdown on why girls should marry smart men!!
[thanks to Angelo for telling me about this article]
Rosalind Arden, a biologist from King's College, London, is part of a research group that conducts studies on the connections between intelligence, genetics and health. Ms. Arden zeroed in on the correlation of sperm quality and intelligence. Sperm quality is determined by sperm motility, sperm concentration (# of sperm per cubic centimeter) and sperm count (# of sperm in the ejaculate), while intelligence is measured using the psychological value of Spearman's g (which takes into consideration linguistic facility, mathematical aptitude, and spatial awareness among other things).
Ms. Arden questioned 425 men to determine their g-factor and found that those who answered her brain cell inducing questions correctly had good sperm quality. Lol.
