No. It isn't about the amount of mass a brain has. It is about the number of brain connections (synapses) it has and the efficiency with which it functions.

While Albert Einstein had a bigger brain than the average person, what made him a genius was a higher than average connection between his left brain and right brain. It's not how much brain you have, but how much brain you use.

No. It depends on the number of synapses and the number of bumps and pits present in your brain.
