You you know MIT(multiple intelligence theory)?

Could you repeat the question please? 😀

There are many theories. About the theory Dave mentioned: http://www.thomasarmstrong.com/multiple … gences.htm
Only a few weeks ago i saw a documentary on Discovery about what makes some people smarter than others. The conclusion: we don’t know. It is true that the frontal lobe of the brain contains the thinking center and the personality center, so the quantity, density and conectivity of neurons here will influence your intelligence(or at least we think so). By analysis of Einstein’s brain, we saw he had the frontal and parietal lobes bigger, and he was missing a part of the Sylvius crack. But can we really be sure of anything by studying a guy that used to write with cofee and drink ink?
It also depends by the speed your brain creaters new neurons during your lifetime, by your diet as a child, by environment. A poll done in Europe shouwed that you had a much better chance of becoming an intelectual if both your parents were intelectuals…
Well, that’s enough for now…

About your opinion that larger brain means larger intelligent…I don’t think so, because if we compare between human brain and sperm whale brain, sperm whale brain is 7 times larger than us but human are much more intelligent that whales..
I think the factor is the ‘nervous bridge connector’ (not pons varolli). I’ve heard that one scientist said if we keep focussing on certain topic, then this ‘bridge’ will be amplified inside our brain. it’s the same with imagination process…first is quite difficult but later it’s quite easy.
For those ‘prodigies’ I think it’s already genetically inheritted. so, I can conclude that their brain are a little more developed than ordinary human.

Maybe also it depends on your interests. Personally speaking, if I understand something that I like (maybe some info about bio) when reading ,lets say, 2 times; then I have to read, lets say, 3-4 times to understand a subject that I don’t like very much. (Maybe maths. 😆 )

you need 3-4 times to understand math but I need more than 10 times to understand physics.. 😆 and yes, interest on something also take part..

@victor
We are not talking about brain size corelated with intelligence in evolution, only in humans. Of course it is not relevant that whales have larger brains than humans because our brain does not function like whale brain.

Well, it’s a rough comparison… 😀

Phrenology?

Not really. From what i know(and i am not sure, i may be wrong) phrenology only consisted of reading the bumps on your head. What i am speaking about is actually documented science, not some strange belief. We are not sure yet whether brain size is correlated with intelligence or not, however some of the world’s top scientists are being paid big bucks to discover if this is true, and if it is not, what does actually make us smarter?

True. But i can name at least 50 people smart enough to pay me if i would tell them i can tell them how intelligent they are by reading the bumps on their head 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 Which brings me to today question of the day: are Neathedrals extinct? 😀 😀 😀 😀

Seems like a good way to start the old college fund there.

Yes, Homo habilis did away with any and all.

Hi,
Well, i’m not sure how true or logical this is going to sound.
My father tells me tha people who are brainy have their heads bulging out from the back 😳 😳 😳
However, my class topper has these features which makes me think that probably what Dad said was true.
In boilogical terms, does this mean they have extra barins or is being brainy just genetic???
Thanks 😀 😀 😀

Coincidences. The occipital lobe has very little to do with intelligence. That is the kind of thing a phrenologist would tell you probably 😀
