Whilst I appreciate the sentiment you are conveying here, I would question the existence of these 'studies'

Tall people tent to be much more chilled in general.

There are definitely articles on the attractiveness angle:

and the pycopathy one:

I don't have time to look up what, if any, research they are based on, but a simple Google search confirms that it's a commonly held belief.... make of it what you will.

Wow, overcomplicated
I was merely expecting the next post to be Monty mentioning Adolf. Or Napoleon, or similar short of stature megalomaniac.

if you like that kind of thing. and tall, the combination should mean you do reasonably OK in the world of work even if you are a gibbering imbecile.
