Shorter people have higher intelligence than taller people.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that shorter people have higher intelligence than taller people?

No. Two sources report a positive correlation between height and cognitive ability: a Wikipedia article on height and intelligence describes the correlation as positive, and a peer-reviewed study reports that greater height at age 8 was associated with higher IQ scores at age 8. Both contradict the claim that shorter people have higher intelligence.
