how much of your brain do you think you use?

long story short i have to do a survey of what people think

and i thought this would be a good place to start.

thanks in advance

The old saying that we only use 10% of our brains is a load of crap. We use almost all of it all the time even if we're not doing it consciously.

I use .05% of my brain.

that question is very hard to answer! science sys a human uses his brain between 7 and 10%, but i never read any obvious evidence for that. But im not a scientist either, so my answer is:

I dont know.

The most widely accepted theory is that we only use about 10% of our brain. I've never heard any conclusive evidence contradicting that.UT_Wrestler

Have you tried google? The 10% thing is a myth and is no where near the most widely accepted theory, with lots of contradicting evidence.

Right now...I'm using someone else's brain. About 12% of it.FragStains

I don't know.

All of it. That's how I'm not sitting, but hovering over my chair, and using my mind to type this. And, I just got a glass of lemonade from the fridge using my mind powers.

But seriously, all of it.

Yes, the 10% notion is a myth. Every part of the brain has a known function.

See here.

Not all of it. A lot of it, but not all.

All of it, mostly for unconscious things.

All of it. If I didn't, I doubt I would be capable of forming coherent thoughts and typing this right now. Our brains have evolved over time for specific functions... and none really ever lie "dormant" and go "unused." A majority of the brain while conscious is always active... and it switches things up when unconscious.

80% because I'm that smart :) yup
