Despite stereotypes, the speed of speech has nothing to do with intelligence

Pop culture abounds with examples of very fast talkers. There's the Judy Grimes character played by Kristen Wiig on "Saturday Night Live," or that guy from the 1980s who did commercials for Micro Machines and FedEx. Of course, there are also extremely slow talkers, like the sloth in "Zootopia" and the cartoon basset hound Droopy.
