Brain to body mass ratio is called the Encephalization Quotient.

Humans have the highest EQ, followed by dolphins.

If you weigh 100 lbs (small person) and you have a 3 lb brain (typical) your EQ is 3%.

However, maybe certain species of shrews have the highest EQ of all, with about 10% of their body weight devoted to their brains.

So....Which is smarter, Shrew or You?
