Is theres connection between size of forehead and IQ?

Question

in the philippines we say malapad ang noo - wide forhead - means person is inteligent. is this true???

Answer 1

filipinos are superstitious.

Answer 2

I am constantly surprised at how many very old wives tales are believed by the Pinoy.

Answer 3

No connection at all.  Although there were instances that seemed to prove a connection between a wide forehead and a person's high IQ but it was purely coincidence.  If it were true, it would follow that all with wide forehead were highly intelligent.  Not true so far.

Answer 4

None at all. Old people just say that to bring confidence to kids born with extra wide forehead.  

Answer 5

nah, it was just a saying in the philippines..lol..i remember my grandma saying that all the time :)

Answer 6

If that's true then STL Biker must be a genius!!!  <joke> hehehe

Answer 7

there is no scientific explanation for that. and in my experience, those who have wide foreheads aren't really that good..sorry.

Answer 8

There is no connection.

Answer 9

The size of your forehead doesn't determine your IQ instead it determines how wide is your frontal sinus. The size of your brain doesn't effect your intelligence either. There are research though claiming that size of brain has correlation to a man's intelligence but Einstein have a normal sized brain but has more neuron density. To sum it up, it's the number of neurons in your brain that determines your intelligence.
