Are blond German women intelligent?

A survey on a TV show suggests not
bondjamesbond
In a German show(Oliver Geissen) they went out in the street asking women:
-how much is 50% of 100?
-The meaning of the SPD(germanys main political party)
-the first name of vladimir putin

Blonde women in general couldnt answer any arrrgh!!!

And Germans are supposed to be very intelligent... laugh.gif

Are you trying to show off your intelligence by making sweeping statements?

TV shows are out to "entertain" & not necessarily produce a balanced picture. Not restricted to Germany - Jay Leno has done similar...

I married a German girl almost 20 yrs ago who is blonde & a "Dipl Eng"...

Some might dispute that the SPD is Germany's main political party...

The ones I graduated with did better than guys of any capillary persuasion, myself as non-German not included.

Blonde hair is at the highest frequency in countries of Northern Europe. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Scotland, and Iceland have the highest frequencies in the world. At least 50% of the native populations of all these countries are blonde. In Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands, the rate generally ranges from 45-70%. In some parts of Sweden, Iceland, Finland, the rate is even as high as 80% or more.[9]

This myth regarding hair color and intellect needs to be dispelled as blonds are really given a bad rap.
