Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hector-hammond-and-the-leader dept.

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?"

    It was held for far too long that because women had smaller heads, they were naturally less intelligent than men. Same with the brain sizes of blacks compared to whites.

    This is a professor of management at a school of business, folks. He makes PHB's for a living - don't listen to him.
