Is There a Connection Between Being Smart and Being Liked?

1. Smart people tend to be liked better than their peers, a new study focusing on adolescents found.

2. Smart people tend to like fewer people than less intelligent people, and have a tendency to only like other intelligent people.

3. The association between intelligence and likability is strongest at the beginning of a relationship—suggesting that, over time, smarts become less important.

4. Intelligent people who only like other intelligent people may be perceived as arrogant or become isolated, the researchers warn.
