New study finds bookshelves show social status, but not intelligence
==========

A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has found that bookshelves are often used as a way to display social status, but they do not necessarily indicate intelligence. The study involved analyzing photos of bookshelves posted on social media platforms and found that people with more books tend to be perceived as having higher social status. However, the researchers also found that the number of books on a person's shelf did not correlate with their performance on cognitive tests. The study suggests that bookshelves may be more of a status symbol than a reflection of intellectual ability.
