    Default Pointy heads not make smart, but fat heads do

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...ot-698762.html



    Bigheads really do have something to brag about - they are cleverer, say scientists.

    A team of psychologists in America have found that people with big heads, especially fat heads, are more likely to have higher IQs than those with smaller heads. But pointy heads - people with taller as opposed to wider heads of academic inclination - may be the least intellectually endowed of all.

    Although it is known that people with larger brains can be more intelligent, probably because they have more brain cells, the role of head size itself has been less well studied. Some, indeed, have believed head size to be independent of brain size, arguing along the lines of big garages not necessarily having big cars inside.

    But the researchers from the University of Western Ontario set out to show that bigger really is better. They measured pairs of brothers aged 20 to 35, noting the width, depth and height of their heads, and scanned their brains to calculate brain volume. After taking the measurements, the psychologists put the men through a battery of intelligence and cognition tests. They found that greater width, length and perimeter all pointed to greater intelligence.

    Reporting their findings in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, the researchers said: "A larger head size indicates greater intelligence. Overall, the indication is quite clear that the size of the head predicts the size of the brain." However, they noted: "Oddly, head height was negatively correlated with IQ.''

    The widest head in their study group measured 16cm between ears, and the narrowest, 13.5cm. Length, from front to back, ranged from 21.2cm and 18.2cm. The tallest was 17cm, and the shortest, 14.6cm.

    There was a crumb of comfort for small headed men: although size can matter, not all big-headed men are necessarily geniuses. Indeed, some may well be fatheads in the more traditional sense of the word.

    I have explanation for this I guess. Neocortex and specifically parietal lobes are where your brain IQ come from. Those make your head fat. People get a larger brain from being simply larger in body mass, but the increase does not change their brain structure. So the people who have skinny parietal lobes do get a little smarter out of the extra size, but not as much if they had the brainier brain structure.

    Also, Chairman, it's brain height not counting face. So you are probably OK. It's mesocephalic skinny heads from SS africa who have small parietal lobes.

    My little boy has a big (refuse to call it fat because how is a bony skull fat lol) noggin. Got it either from my father or hubs' father. Appears both grandpas have/had big heads. Little guy is clever as hell lol. Always trying to shark us

    My father was an electrical engineer while hubs' father was an airline pilot....so I dunno....maybe having a big head did help



    Don't know anyone with a cone head, though.

    Yeah I have a big highskulled Taurid(rather Dinaroid) skull shape. Triangular and brachycephalic. Makes sense since I am clearly superior to doliocephalic lowskulled Mediterranid or Nordick subhumans. Brachycephalism for the win.
