This study presents an exploratory investigation into the potential correlation between head size and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in elementary school students. With a diverse sample of elementary school children, we measured head circumference and administered age-appropriate IQ tests to gather comprehensive data. Our findings shed light on the intricate relationship between cranial dimensions and cognitive performance in the early educational years. The research contributes to our understanding of neurodevelopment and factors influencing cognitive abilities during childhood.
