Do Larger Breasts Equal Lower Grades? Online Voters Say 'Yes'

An unscientific survey on a popular Web site suggests that stereotypical beliefs about women hold true in 2006, at least among Internet surfers.

WhatsMyImage.com allows members to view photos of complete strangers and then make guesses about the details of their private lives.

The Web site analyzed hundreds of votes that had been cast since May and found that there was a very strong correlation between female bra size and perceived grade point average.

On average, voters guessed that "A-cup" students had GPAs that were 0.3 points higher than those of "D-cup" students.

"B-cup" and "C-cup" students were voted to have GPAs in the middle of that range, each averaging about 0.2 points higher than the "D-cup" group.

The study also found a correlation between race and grades. Specifically, voters guessed that Asian students had higher GPAs than their Caucasian and African-American counterparts by an average of more than 0.2 points (on a 4.0 scale).

The site's founders warned against interpreting the results of their survey as anything but entertainment.

"We have no reason to believe that there is an actual link between any of these attributes and grade point average," said WhatsMyImage.com co-founder Sameer Shariff. "This analysis simply suggests that our voters may subscribe to the stereotypes reflected in its results."
