People Judge You First, Then Your Idea

I kind of agree with this. I feel people judge your idea by how YOU deliver it. So for example if you come across as uncomfortable while delivering your idea then often your idea looses merit quite quickly. This isn't always true and obviously if your idea is mind glowingly good then as long as you get the idea across people will work with you.

I don't think it's true (anymore) that people judge you by your ethnicity, social status, clothes, gender etc as I feel this article may imply without stating explicitly.

At the end of the day people are drawn to (not too) confident people with (not too) strong direction who are reliable and have a good idea.

Perhaps less pertinent than before, but I suggest its still extremely important.

I can't think of a better link, but OKCupid shows how peoples (by default private) expressed beliefs in questions were significantly different from their actual actions (http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-race-affects-whether-...)
