The idea that "you only use 10% of your brain" is meant only as a metaphor, emphasizing that all of us have potential for much greater intellect than we give ourselves credit for. In reality 100% of the brain has active neurons firing impulses all the time, so a percentage figure is always some kind of misleading hype.
