Accent affects perceived intelligence in job interviews.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that accent affects perceived intelligence in job interviews?

Unclear. Two sources partially support the idea: one review notes studies finding L2-accented English speakers rated lower on status traits such as intelligence, and one review reports biased native attitudes toward foreign accents in business settings. Neither directly measures accent's effect on perceived intelligence in job interviews.
