They can’t do the math, measure brain usage by the amount of steam coming outta their ears.

Moron drivers only use their brains to look for deer and coyotes and not to analyze traffic.

1% at most maybe? ~

The ten percent idea is a myth. That said, for the sake of argument: I’d wager a less powerful brain might even work harder to make up for its lack of speed.

Haha…well the Clampetts got by on their 1%.
A lot of trial and error and extra hard thinkin’.

The common myth of 10% brain usage has bee disproven.

This assume’s that the average person is not a moron.
I am starting to wonder if moron and average have not merged into the same thing, and in order to get away from it, you have to move into above average.

Ten percent of the brain myth.

Scary to think that we’re all pretty much firing on the same circuits and that some people are incapable of putting the input to productive use.

Odd that someone can learn to walk and talk, yet fail to learn how to use a turn signal correctly.

@ibstubro It’s already been mentioned, at least 3 times, that it is a myth.

A college instructor used to say that with some people, morons I suspect, words and/or concepts went in one ear and gained velocity going out the other.

Everyone uses 100% of their brain. The 10% theory is BS. Mentally challenged people also use 100% of their brain such as it is.

How many of you actually looked at the topics for this question???Hhhhmmmmm I wonder?

gondwanalon's avatar

Sorry I blew it. Guess I wasn’t using any of my very weak brain function.

ibstubro's avatar

There was a link I found confusing and no link, @Dutchess_III, so I provided documentation and answered the question, details included.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

For the sake of this question I will go with they actually can quantify we use only 10%. Given the average IQ and an IQ of between 90–110 I would say a moron only uses 5–6% brain capacity if the rest is using only 10.
