The Science

The halo effect is real.

Attractive people are assumed to be smarter, kinder, and more competent. It\u2019s not fair. But it\u2019s measurable. And now it\u2019s hackable.

In 1920, Edward Thorndike proved that attractive people are assumed to be smarter, kinder, and more competent. Willis & Todorov (2006) showed it takes just 100 milliseconds. Your photo is being judged before anyone reads a single word you wrote.
