I heard those that have smaller heads look more attractive during interviews and when wearing suits. What is the validdity in this?

I've always heard the opposite, that ever one with high power positions (had to interview to get there) or elected positions have rather large heads, physically that is.
 
seriously??? I mean seriously...

I initially thought you meant arrogance-wise, but then saw you mentioning how a small head looks in a suit.

If this is serious, having a small head means nothing (same with a big head). Just appear presentable and respectful.

I didn't mention anything about power or how powerful people are. Most models or actors that people find attractive have small heads, and it seems like girls like guys with small heads - but with nice cut body, of course

I'm not trying to be rude, but head size is correlated with a lot. There have been numerous studies that include the volume of the skull as a key factor.
Including many well known ones for autistic children and ******ation. You can find studies very similar to ones that study height, a well known factor for CEO's and presidential elections.

Man I wish I had a big head. 🙁

As you can tell from the XR, my brain is even smaller than my head. 🙂

There are quite a few brain impairing defects with resultant big heads though.
 
If you have a small head, interviewers automatically know that your brain must be smaller than average as well. I mean, it's just physics! A smaller brain means you must be less intelligent. Everyone knows that. It's just science! No one can argue with science! Become a garbage collector. Look, here's a graph to prove it!

Clearly, if you plot head size on the abscissa and intelligence on the ordinate, you should become a garbage collector. Or just shoot yourself. Probably either are acceptable without further information.
 
yes, its true that small heads are more attractive. You should find a way to shrink yours 😀

So there we have it, well, kind of.
 
Anyone have a flashback of the Super Mario Bros movie where they de-evolve people's heads so they're about the size of a grapefruit? Anyone? No? I'll go away now....

" SAT math scores increase 6 points for each 1% increase in brain or head size.

GRE test scores, crime rates, annual incomes, and brain size correlate closely with each other.

Why the US INS viewed jews as "simple minded ... *****s" in 1924.

The volume of gray matter and IQ correlate closely.

Annual salaries increase by $660 for each 1% increase in brain or head size.
"
Sorry to get so off topic, but this is really interesting.
 
I think it also depends on your head size to overall body size ratio. A really small head may not look too good on a hulking torso while a big head would not look too good on a skinny short body. However, I think one can easily overcome this by being presentable and having good fashion sense.
 
Ooh, great, I have a related question.

I am applying to a lot of top-tier schools and I have large breasts, 48EE to be exact. Do you think this could help me or hurt me? My pre-med advisor told me that I should play them up but one of my professors recommended I get a breast reduction. I am so conflicted! Are there any statisitics that will give me the golden, one true answer!? HELP ME, SDN!

No one can give you an answer based on such limited information. You should stop by my place for a private consultation! You could also refer to the graph that was posted above, I'm pretty sure it has the answer you are looking for.
 
There is a correlation between large heads and large brains. There is only a very weak correlation between large brains and a higher IQ. I believe brain density has a stronger positive correlation with IQ. As far as attractiveness goes I googled "attractive large heads" and found a few cabbage and broccoli enthusiast websites. 😉
 
the bigger...the better..👍
 
I have a small head and I am a certified mensa genius. Plus I look great in a suit, so there.


You know what they say about people with big heads?




They hurt like a b*tch to give birth to

haha, I remember that. I was a big fan of the games/cartoon show. The movie was awesome.

Good ol' days...

I would not mention the mensa thing on your med school application. The admisions committees will regard you as a tool and throw your file into the reject pile. Certainly you can brag about your small head if you want, but do not mention mensa, ever.
 
I'd definitely put the mensa thing. They'll be impressed 😉👍 definitely....
 
I will probably just insert it into their thoughts with my powers.
 
But would you really expect someone to be able to note an appreciable difference in head size? Unless we're talking extremely large or abnormally small it seems to me that it would be very difficult to tell a difference on such a passing meeting.
 
Well, I always thought I had a decent sized head, but after this post, I'm considering a head reduction. What do you think about this size?

Shrunken head = automatic acceptance at Tulane!

Do you feel bad about having a small head or something? Seriously, why else would you be on a public message board trying to reason out why it's good to have a small head?
 
I hope not. I've got a massive dome. Wear like a 7 3/4 hat size, or even bigger depending on the brand.

My thoughts exactly.

Now anytime I see his avatar I'm going to picture him as the shrunken head guy in Beetlejuice.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:, but they do, people are so gullible. I actually think he serves a useful purpose, we need one or two troublemakers on this board to relieve all the craziness of being pre-med
