No. Intelligence is more strongly correlated with the number of synaptic connections. In fact, given the same number of neurons, a bigger brain would actually be slower because of the added distance that electrical impulses would have to travel from neuron to neuron.

Any attempts to relate brain weight, cranial capacity, or some other measure of overall brain size to an individual performance ignores the reality of the brain's functional diversity

Intelligence has nothing to do with the size of your brain. It is a matter of synaptic connections your brain contains. The more pathways, the more knowledge that can be obtained.

No, it's not, elephants have far bigger brains than we do, and look at them, it's just some people have better neural connections than others that allow them to process more information more quickly.

No, a person with a brain tumor may have a huge brain, but that doesn't mean they are smart. They are sick. Brain size doesn't matter.

No. Some of the smartest people in the world (like that one scientist dude who came up with that idea...Wernicke??? I don't know) have smaller brains than average.

I'm curious to know if the person asking this dumb question has a large or a small head.

no.. cuz it depends on how much of the brain u actually use. wich usually like less than 1/3

Not necessarily so. Some one with hydocephalous is brain injured.
It is not quantity that make a person intelligent, it is quality.
