It'd be less the physical features than the dress style(well dressed), manner of speaking(think moonlight sonata style with an upper or middle class accent) or walking(confident but not cockey) that would determine for me what my initial impression of their intelligence is.

What kind of physical features do you think contribute to a person looking less intelligent?

If its purely physical, than I'd say highly exaggerated features, but again its more the dress, manner of speaking and walking that forms the initial impression.

Yes no- however there are a lot of sterotypical views around

What kind of physical features do you think contribute to a person looking “intelligent”?(eg size of nose, hair colour, eyes, bone structure ect)

In my humble opinion, there is no specific characteristic that makes someone look "intelligent". It is rather based on interaction with such a person that one can deduce that the person is bright, and not based on looks. You can't say that a person with a small nose looks intelligent, just doesnt work that way. However, the sterotypical views set for us the cleanly shaven, glasses wearing, straight combed to the side hair, short skinny fe/male to be our ultimate 'nerd'.


what kind of physical features do you think contribute to a person looking less intelligent?

Same answer as above. But the scruffy, untamed hair, dirty look would imply one being 'dumb'. hmm, i really don't like these generalisations at all.

It really varies between people. Glasses for instance - They make some people seemingly intelligent, but on others, they could still look as dopey as they did before glasses. But as wm_abusef said, once you start interacting with the person, it really is their personality that shines through and shapes your perception.

what kind of physical features do you think contribute to a person looking less intelligent?
Once again, it'll vary... Personally, if I see someone with a dopey/blank look/expression all the time, I don't notice a specific feature, rather, their face as a whole.

messy appearence, maybe a larger figure- but these two questions are sterotyping a bit on physical appearance.

How they generally dress and whether they have that "nerdy" look on them. haha. But seriously, glasses make ppl look more sophisticated.. not necessarily intelligent.

what kind of physical features do you think contribute to a person looking less intelligent?
Clothes that they wear .. eg: ripped clothes, grungy clothes, daggy clothes, etc. .. how they are generally presented...
