Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says
udderly writes "People with bigger brains are smarter according
to a Virginia Commonwealth University industrial and organizational
psychologist, Michael A. McDaniel, Ph.D.
McDaniel, who is a professor in management at
VCU's School of Business. He reviewed 26 previous studies comparing brain size
and intelligence and found that brain volume has a strong correlation to
intelligence. According to McDaniel, 'for all age and sex groups, it
is now very clear that brain volume and intelligence are related.' So, how
big of a hat do you wear?"

I have no upper-left sinus cavity.
It's all solid material there.
In 6th grade the gave me a standardised I.Q. test, I basically broke the scale. (that particular test only claimed validity up to 150 though.)
On a standardized test in high school, I scored 212, second highest score in district history was 176.
I was in a school-related competition (FBLA club) and took a 100 item multiple choice quiz, I scored 98 in 15 minutes of the hour given for the test, second highest was 78.
They disqualified me because I must have cheated, they just had no idea how. That made me very angry, but I tried again the next year under close scrutiny, and did equally well, so they disqualified me again.
I became physically ill from the emotional distress this caused, and missed too many days to graduate on schedule, so I got a GED. Sucks that I'm too nice of a guy to have sued them over it, as it's probably too late now.
bitter bitter bitter.
FBLA is Future Business Leaders of America, but I like to think of them as FPHB, Future Pointy Haired Bosses. Those grapes were probably sour anyway, I didn't really want a scholorship from IBM, or a trip to D.C. or Anaheim.
'Nuff said.
