Tall People Smarter?

<p>I doubt any of you are taller than me.
6'8 beat that</p>

<p>You are so humble too. I'm not sure anyone would be able to approach your humbleness.</p>

<p>Why thank you. I didn't think you would notice</p>

<p>6'8? Is that possible? 0.0</p>

<p>not impossible. just rare!</p>

<p>correlation doesn't imply causation.</p>

<p>the study is interesting, but without any explanation as to why the two are causally linked, it's useless.</p>

<p>Larger brain mass could be a good explanation.</p>

<p>So taller people have bigger heads?</p>

<p>a big brain does not mean that the person would be smart. T rex (the dinosaur) had a huge brain but was proven to be one of the dumbest of the all.</p>

<p>Actually, tall people earn more money might have some basis. </p>

<p>Tall is considered a more desirable attribute.</p>

<p>but short people also earn alot of money</p>

<p>But giantism may be the retrograde. ;)</p>

<p>Intelligence has also been shown to correlate with brain size relative to body size.</p>

<p>Dinosaurs were dumb.</p>

Is this true within the same race?</p>

<p>Well if Asians are the smartest race, how can this be true at all?</p>

<p>Nixxi is right. Taller people have an aesthetic advantage over shorter people. It's just a fact of life. </p>

<p>I interned at a place where there was this 4'10" asian who, when she opened windowed doors, it would look like something out of the paranormal. Hilarious stuff.</p>

<p>Oh, and anyone who has never heard of a 6'8 person is either incredibly dumb or lives under a rock. Ever hear of the NBA?</p>

<p>I don't think anyone else here is interested in basketball. To think that some people go to college just to play basketball and not really focus on thier schoolwork is like taboo here</p>

<p>Yeah, no one here ever heard of the NBA. </p>

<p>This is the problem with overachievers. They live under a rock. And the "normal" people only talk about sex and drugs. What can a brother do?</p>

<p>BTW no offense meant to you Icer. You got 8 inches on me. I envy your ability to dunk ;)</p>
