relationship between children’s heights and their IQ’s. Using a wide range of children across the US from ages 6 to 17, these researchers were able to compare the heights to the corresponding child’s intelligence as tested by the “Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children” (Wilson et al. 1). After comparing the data, these researchers found “no significant association” that height and IQ scores have a relationship (Wilson et al 1). In contrast, not only have researchers found no correlation with…
