lol dw odette, theres no way that science can say ALL TALL PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN ALL SHORT PEOPLE
Brendans only saying that theres likely evidence f a correlation... its just a tendancy, it doesnt reflect on you :P relax!


Hehe ok :) ^_^


But you can still develop a linear regression and figure out how height explains x% of your intelligence. "Explain" does not mean cause, however, so there is no causal relationship implied.

Hmm ok :)

I just believe that we're all equal, it's just we are all different in what exactly we happen to be good at...
Some people appear more intelligent than others because they are constantly learning something... whether it's through reading, experiences,etc.
We are all capable of being intelligent, it's just what you choose to do with your intelligence and how you develop it thats what makes you stand out. It's got nothing to do with height, gender or whatever..

Thats just my opinion though ^_^

Of course. Like Galelleo was saying: the relationship is just an observed relationship, but it doesn't imply causation. This means that it doesn't say height causes intelligence. It's just merely saying: there happens to be more smart people who are tall, than smart people who are short!

I'm 190 but I went for 190-195. Why? Because I can, that's why. I'm not particularly smart. Smarter than the normies I guess.

New York Times, 1897 ... someone made a list of who they considered "genius" and their heights.
