Foot Facts
A psychologist visits Africa with his family on a vacation. One day, although this trip was to get away from work and reduce stress in the office, he decides to conduct an experiment, trying to link foot size to intelligence. As he was nearing the end of his experiment he was startled to find that the people with bigger feet had a larger intelligence! But soon after he found out the reason and went home disappointed at the thought that he found an actual link.
What did the psychologist find out?

Answer
He was taking the foot size of everyone, including children. The reason that he thought he found the link is because the people with the smaller feet were the children, but the people with the larger feet were the adults who had received a better education.Hide Answer Show Answer

That is pretty interesting...heh.
I think the psychologist must have had small feet to not realise this mistake early on!
Hmmm, got that no problem.
But I agree that he couldnt have been much of a psychologist if he didnt realize that the guys he was interviewing were either adults or children

what about midgets, tho. they would have smaller feet and average intelligence.
Fun teaser, though the psychologist was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
