Varies: It varies among individual and varies with different part of the skull. Here is the rough estimate of each park of skull. frontal 6.3 mm; temporal 3.9 mm ; occipital 7.7mm; parietal 5.8mm; central frontal bone 8.1mm and occipital 9.35mm. Just curious about why you wanna know your skull size?

Depends on where.: The skull is not of uniform thickness. Some areas are thinner than others.
