Psychologists debunk link between eye color and intelligence

Psychologists from the University of Edinburgh have addressed the common stereotype linking blue eyes to higher intelligence. While cultural perceptions often associate blue eyes with analytical skills, creativity, and professional success, researchers state there is no scientific evidence to support a connection between iris color and IQ.

Studies cited by Current Psychology suggest that these associations are based on cultural imagery rather than biological reality. While certain traits like high organization or lower empathy are sometimes stereotypically attributed to specific eye colors, experts emphasize that eye color is a genetic trait that does not serve as a measure of a person's cognitive abilities or personality.
