Question

IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEIGHT & IQ OF A PERSON?

Answer 1

..none of course!!!,, how stupid if there will be ,, intelligence doesn't matter if your tall or small, as long as, you have the capabilities and talents that a skilled person possess , y not!

Answer 2

studies have shown that shorter people have higher iqs and that age has to do withit but with my age  and my height i shouldn't have an iq score as high as mine im 12 and 5'8" and thats y my score should be very low but it is higher then my 25 year old 5'4" aunt by far  

Answer 3

I've heard one of the ways to tell a persons IQ is to check and see if they can pick the correct section to post their questions.

Answer 4

Apparently there is a weak, but questionable, positive correlation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_and_...

I would think in evolutionary terms(natural selection), that it would be a negative correlation. That height/strength would be its own survival adaptation, whereas the adaptation of the less physically capable might be intelligence or cunning. But then... the human species continues to become taller despite our growing reliance on intelligence and technology. You'd think shorter(according to Darwinism), as we're less reliant on raw physical capabilities

.

Apparently not. The bottom line is there's no significant correlation. How did this question end up in hockey?

Answer 5

I have heard people say that the IQ of a short person is better than a taller person. They even say in future people will be shorter but very intelligent. In the modern days, the school syllabus is becoming heavy. That is what i studied in my college degree course, they are studying in their pre-degree college. And they have to concentrate in their studies when they are young itself which is the age for a lot of play and so they don't get exercise and so naturally their height will decrease. But we won't notice it normally because the whole society will be like that. Already we are witnessing a class of obese young people. If you think, you will understand my view.

Answer 6

No not at all!!! IQ just depends upon your point of thinking and capabilities.
