You may think that appearing intelligent might be the key to getting a promotion at work。

你也許認(rèn)為，銳智的外形是在工作中獲得升職機(jī)會(huì)的關(guān)鍵。

But people who want to rise to the top should concentrate on looking healthy, according to a new study。

但是，根據(jù)一項(xiàng)新研究顯示，那些想要爬到頂層的人應(yīng)該把注意力放在外形健康上。

Researchers found that 70 per cent of the time, a worker with a healthy complexion is more appealing than a colleague who looks intelligent。

研究者們發(fā)現(xiàn)，在70%的情況下，一個(gè)氣色健康的職員比一個(gè)相貌聰穎的職員更吸引人。

They discovered that appearing intelligent is an ‘optional extra’ for workers looking for a pay rise or for politicians seeking election。

他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，對(duì)那些想要加薪的員工或想要獲選的政客來說，外表銳智只是一項(xiàng)“可有可無的附加值”。

In the experiment, the participants were given a job description that specified the CEO’s main challenge each time they were asked to choose between the two images。

在一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)中，研究者向參與者們提供了一份首席執(zhí)行官主要工作任務(wù)的詳細(xì)說明，并請(qǐng)參與者們數(shù)次在兩張頭像中做出選擇。

Job descriptions involved driving aggressive competition, renegotiating a key partnership with another company, leading the company’s shift into a new market and overseeing the sustained exploitation of non-renewable energy。

工作任務(wù)包括主持積極的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)活動(dòng)，與另一家公司重新協(xié)商相互之間的關(guān)鍵伙伴關(guān)系，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)公司轉(zhuǎn)向新的市場(chǎng)，監(jiān)督對(duì)不可再生能源的可持續(xù)開發(fā)。

The participants chose more healthy-looking faces over less healthy-looking faces in 69 per cent of trials and this preference was equally strong irrespective of the future CEO’s main challenge。

在69%的情況下，參與者們都會(huì)選擇氣色更加健康的頭像，而非氣色較不健康的頭像。無論這位未來的首席執(zhí)行官的主要工作任務(wù)是怎樣的，研究參與者的偏好都非常明顯。

More intelligent-looking faces were only preferred over less intelligent-looking faces for the two challenges that would require the most diplomacy and inventiveness: renegotiating the partnership and exploring the new market。

只有針對(duì)兩項(xiàng)最需要講究策略和創(chuàng)新性的工作任務(wù)，即重新洽談伙伴關(guān)系和開發(fā)新市場(chǎng)時(shí)，人們才更偏向于外觀銳智的頭像，而不是氣色健康的頭像。

The aim of the experiment was to explore people’s implicit preferences for traits of leaders, such as health, intelligence, and attractiveness。

這項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)的目標(biāo)是研究人們?cè)陬I(lǐng)導(dǎo)者外形特征上的隱形選擇偏好，比如健康，智力和美型程度。

In women as well as men, caring and cooperative personalities are statistically more likely to have a more ‘feminine’ face, due to higher oestrogen levels, while aggressive risk-takers tend to have higher testosterone levels and a more ‘masculine’ face。

在對(duì)女性的調(diào)查中，和男性一樣，根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)來看，關(guān)愛他人且具有團(tuán)隊(duì)精神的女性由于雌激素值更高，因而面容更女性化，而更有闖勁和冒險(xiǎn)精神的女性則擁有更高的男性荷爾蒙，所以更傾向于擁有中性化的外形。
