Head Size statistics
Average Cranial capacity (male and female): 1384.6 cc
SD: 135.27 cc
Note, we can not use this because it includes females. We needed the SD to know just how rare our skulls are (we'll have to assume the SD is the same for both sexes for our estimates to be accurate). We'll use the data from Wikipedia as a substitute.
Average cranial capacity (male): 1440 cc
Average head circumference (adult male): 55.1 cm
SD: 1.4 cm
Why do we want to measure head size?
The size of the skull determines/correlated with many important things. It is positively correlated with brain size (which is correlated with IQ, reminder that correlation is not causation. It is a sexually dimorphic trait in humans, having a large skull is a manly trait, therefore, you will mog other men if your noggin is humungous. The opposite is also correct, possessing a small skull will result in you getting mogged.
How to measure head
It is very easy to measure your cranial capacity, just follow the image below.
To find your head circumference, simply wrap a tape around the widest part of your skull.

This study could be supplemented by the collection of data such as, the size of the individuals in order to study the relationship between size of the brain and stature because this relation remains unclear.
