I don't think there is a technical answer to this as I don't think anyone has ever ran their brains to full capacity.. How could you say that a person has used 25% of their brain when there's no way to measure the 100%.. I heard many years ago that Einstein only used 15%. How do they know this??
I would guess that if a person had an accident and lost 25% of their brain matter physically lost it and recovered, they are now functioning on 75% of their physical brain..
Storage and logic potential has no percentage, we have no way of measuring this.. I know of no person in history that had overflowed their mental storage capacity. or just one day, their brain blew up.. LOL

Less than 10%, for sure. Judging by some of the spelling and questions here (and I love all of us), I'd say there are a few who use less than 5%.
We are supposed to keep our brains stimulated. Puzzles like sudoku are good because they encourage us to use our logical and reasoning skills.

The statement about we only use a small fraction of our brains is total rubbish. Then again it depends on what you mean. Most of the time we attend to some specific and the " usage : of our brain is limited. Obviously when the cognitive load of a particular task, or task number would increase the " Fraction of the brain " That we use. So ; The short answer is; We use all of our brain.

Intelligence Quotents (IQ) measures really how fast someone can learn. In other words, one might have to explain to me 5 or 10 times how to do logarithms, but to someone with IQ of 130 plus, it might need only 2 times.
At any rate, EQ is more important then IQ. EQ means Emotional Quotent.... how to cope with frustrations and difficulties. I'd rather have a "practical" intelligence that can repair my plumbing, then some philosopher with a doctorate to nowhere, repairing my pipes. Then neither the plumber's philosophy nor the philosopher's plumbing would do me any good. KW
