How come some people with a small head are really smart?

June 24, 2010 12:19pm CST
Their head is small so their brain is also small. So how are they able to retain so much information? I had a classmate that had a really small head that is smaller than most people but she's really smart. So don't think that just because a person's brain is small makes them brainless. I used to think that the bigger your head is, the smarter you are but it's not true. So what are your opinions about this subject? Would love to hear from you.

Well you know what they say - size doesn't matter. lol Seriously I think it's not how big or small the head is when it comes to figuring out if a person is smart or not. There are people who do have big heads and they're dumb. I think it's how some people have tried from the very start to really focus on something that interest them...that stimulates their healthy brain to gather more wanted information...and they do it so often that their brain got used to it already and before they knew it other people calls them smart. Ask the smartest person you know what's the best make up concealer around or what the perfect color of necktie is for a khaki shirt...see what he or she says. They don't know everything. They're only smart on things that their minds have focused on for so many years... which is a good thing.
