What Does Your Face Say About Your IQ? Conveying Intelligence Through Facial Expression

About this video

Centeno discusses research showing that men’s facial expressions significantly impact how their intelligence is perceived by others. He presents four practical techniques for adjusting facial expressions to appear more intelligent: opening the eyes and raising the brows, relaxing the jaw, keeping the chin up, and smiling.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that scientific research demonstrates men can be judged as more or less intelligent based on their facial expressions, unlike women for whom this correlation hasn’t been established
• Centeno recommends opening your eyes and raising your brows when speaking with others, and suggests wearing sunglasses if squinting occurs in sunlight, as squinting can make you appear less intelligent
• Centeno advises relaxing your jaw, keeping your chin up to elongate the face and change viewing angles, and smiling to appear more likable and intelligent
