Are people with small heads on average dumber than those with large heads?

small

My wife thinks so, but her own head is small and she is not as dumb as I used to believe in the beginning. By the way, large head need not necessarily mean large brain..... head can swell in size for various medical/physiological reasons as well.

Studies demonstrate a correlation between brain size and intelligence, with larger brains predicting higher intelligence. The correlation appears to be related to the known small correlation of height with intelligence, which can be explained almost entirely by greater brain volume.

To respond intelligently, we must utilize statistical analysis to reach a valid conclusion. Variable A) Head size Variable B) Intelligence Are they proportional? Only numbers can tell.
