There have long been rumors about whether a person's brain size correlates in any way to their intelligence. Let's explore. Tests have been performed in recent days which seem to agree with the idea that brain size is somewhat related to intelligence. These tests have used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to come to these conclusions. Brain size appears to relate only very slightly to intelligence, though.
