Sept. 24, 2007 --- Big-headed people could be brainier too, according to a new analysis of a 1939 study comparing head size and intelligence in a group of male prisoners.
Although the effect of head size on IQ is minimal, it does exist, says Jeremy Genovese, who conducted the new research and is an associate professor of human development and educational psychology at Cleveland State University.
"The correlations between head size and IQ are quite modest, and you cannot determine someone's intelligence with a tape measure," he told Discovery News. "However, the correlation is real and might have some clinical significance, such as predicting susceptibility to dementia."
Genovese explained that "larger bodies do require larger brains to support larger nervous systems," but he added that the notable difference in body size between men and women appears to have "no relationship to intelligence."
For the study, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, Genovese obtained copies of the 1939 inmate data, which was collected by Harvard anthropologist Earnest Albert Hooten. Hooten gathered anthropological and sociological records on roughly 12 percent of American prison inmates.

A pun is a clever play on words, usually for comedic effect. They are often cheesy, so they may cause people to groan.
Our head pains for a little time then there is no effect.
