Are blondes really dumb and redheads really fiery?

Ok, so it's hardly high budget research, but the science department at a college in Ireland has has analysed a series and people and learned that:
- Three quarters of redheads were fiery
- 59% of brunettes were boring
- 64% of blondes scored "below average" in IQ tests.
As a natural brunette, I'm not sure how I feel about being stereotyped as boring - perhaps that's why I change my hair colour with my mood!
It got me thinking about people in the office and whether they conform to their stereotype - I'll keep my thoughts to myself, but it did make me think that you might want to listen to what redheads ask for, because you never know what might happen if you get it wrong!
