Default New Perks?

I've come up with these minor abilities. I'm not sure whether they should be perks or 0 point features.

Looks Dumb.

Strangers assume that you are less intelligent than you in fact are. This may be due to your appearance (good looks, big muscles, blond hair...), accent (particularly thick), speech patterns (stutters, talks slow), or dress (foppish, great unwashed). For whatever reason, you happen to conform to cultural stereotypes of "dumb" people. This can be an advantage, as enemies tend to underestimate your abilities, or a disadvantage (less chance of being employed and/or getting promotions).

Looks Competent

You are assumed to be much more competent than you are, and will tend (whilst employed) to be promoted over your level of ability. This may be because of the shortcoming of your employers, your ability to use social skills and/or backstabbing to make yourself look good, or a combination of the two.
