No, a bigger brain usually means just a bigger head. We can only access 21.099% of our brain and "that persons brain writes stuff in a bigger font".

Answer #2: Answer #1 is a bit dubious. There is no set percentage of our brain that we use or access. We use what we need, when we need it, and one objective cannot use 100% because that would mean neurons would have to move around. A neuron in your motor cortex cannot process sensory input. We also often utilize the vast majority of our grey matter (The part of the brain that handles the most processes) and most parts of the brain are constanty active. Doing any task often requires most parts of the brain to be active and processing information like sensory input, reasoning, motor control, etc. Even while sleeping, parts of your brain are processing and figures estimate about 15% is the baseline for sleeping. If you were able to use 100% of your brain at any one moment, you would go into a seizure. The myth of a fixed percentage, be it 10%, 21% or whatever is perpetuated as a reason for psychic powers but is completely false.

That said, the answer is debatable and depends on who you ask. Take someone like Einsten for instance. He was a genius with an IQ of at least 150. His brain is normal size for a human brain yet has many more neurons than an average human, he (supposedly) stated that he believes that neurons are the difference, not size. The truth is we don't really know but all evidence points towards no, a large brain does not mean more intelligent and that it comes down to neurons. More neurons = more intelligent.
