Predicting a Companies' Success Based on a Picture

Mind Hacks has a great review of an article in The Economist.  The article reports on a study that demonstrated students who know nothing about business can fairly accurately predict the success of a company simply looking briefly at a picture of the CEO.  They rated the success of the CEO (and thus the company), as well as five personality factors.  Interestingly, knowing more about a CEO can negatively impact one's predictive ability.  Mind Hacks goes on to discuss the article in more detail.  I recommend both!
