As Fiske and Dupree explained in the original study, low scores on warmth can lead to trouble.
"Being seen as competent but cold might not seem problematic until one recalls that communicator credibility requires not just status and expertise but also trustworthiness (warmth)."
Fiske and Dupree suggest that low warmth scores for scientists may explain why people are skeptical about global warming claims.
Another interesting part of the study? As NYMag's Jesse Singal pointed out when it came out, "lawyers are viewed as cold, ruthlessly efficient machines, of course." Also: people assume blue collar workers aren't very competent. Also: people really like nurses.
