Abstract

       The research investigated the relationship between the size of head circumference and height on the level of intelligence. The Standard Matrices Test was applied to a sample of (141) students from the sixth grade of basic education. The results revealed a positive correlation between IQ and the head circumference and height. Further research may focus on the relation between other variables like age, gender and economical status and the IQ.
