The '''halo effect''' is a theory that posits that various positive traits also increase the (false) impression of other positive traits. E.g. people who are more aesthetically attractive are subconsciously assumed to have a much more virtuous [[personality]] and to be much more healthy and to have much higher IQ, none of which is true.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_people_are_perceived_much_more_positively_than_they_really_are</ref> The halo effect also goes into the implications of such a subconscious stance, such as the subsequent greater career prospects that better looking people get. The opposite of the halo effect is the [[Failo effect|horn or failo effect]]. | The '''halo effect''' is a theory that posits that various positive traits also increase the (false) impression of other positive traits.

The better one knows someone, the less halo effect plays a role. For example, after a while teachers can guess their student's IQs as accurately as doing an IQ test.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3102/00346543059003297</ref> | |||
