Q2 Compared to other people of your age in your local area, do you have (a) more or (b) fewer children? Q3 Is your income (a) higher or (b) lower than the average for your local area? If you answered (a) “jock” to Q1, then, on average, you are – in keeping with the stereotype – likely to have more children (Q2) than those who answered (b) “nerd”. However, if you answered (b) “geek” to Q1, then, on average, you are – this time bucking the stereotype – likely to have a lower income (Q3) than those who answered (a) (“jock”). These, at least, were the findings of a study of around 300 participants in the small US town of Plattsburgh.
