A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests.

Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered.

Their research was based on IQ tests given to 80,000 people and a further study of 20,000 students


There were twice as many men with IQ scores of 125, for example, a level said to correspond with people getting first-class degrees.


At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman.

Gram -

You were probably pretty excited to post this one! Oh boy. . . let the "there are no differences between the sexes" do battle with the "these tests are skewed because they are created by men" and the "well, of course, it's a male dominated society" . . .and on and on. . . this should be great!

And here I thought that recent studies clearly indicate that women are superior to men at mathematics. Shows what I know.

Best students in my high school were girls.

Years ago, there was some controverery about femlae students being discouraged or suppressed in school. I never saw that, that report never jibed with me or rang true.

Just cook my dinner while I think deep thoughts!

What's that? You're not female? Here, just wear a dress and pretend.

Hmmm ... you look mighty fine in that dress....

Do you think it wouldn't end up here, or that I posted it without the proper setup or something?

So wouldn't it be more accurate to say "Men score, on average, slightly better than women on one particular test?"

IQ Tests are relative. They have a hell of a lot more to do with what a kid is taught at an early age than how "intelligent" they really are. Sort of like SATs, it's all about test-taking skills, confidence, and comfort levels.

Is it true that the biochemical artificial intelligence that Flux and Apnea synthesized in the basement lab at SGHQ has already reduced GramNegative to a steaming pool of protoplasm?

That's what I heard.

I saw it and thought "this will take a beating when it hits CE".
Being bored, I thought I'd expedite it.

I think men on average are a couple of points ahead, Women well young girls anyway dont have a culture of being students and learning till they get a bit older. In my school experience there were hardly any girl nerds , they were into fashion and whatever but not school work and didnt concentrate on their studies like we did, But get this at University it was the opposite and the girls I new told me it was like they were playing catch up.
My 16 year old cousin Jess tells me its very different in her school so here's hoping.
Look at Jessica Simpson ....act all ditzy and stupid cause people will love me. i actually agree with women like Reese Witherspoon who baged the shit out of her cause it bugs the shit out of me when young girls act dumb and helpless for attention ...fuck i just want tyo slap them silly ooo aaa

Uhm, I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. Very important. I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Anyone have a link to something like a gender neutral or female advantage iq test, showing how it differs from that typical iq tests?

Ah.. this guy.

I read about it earlier.

"The professor has caused outrage in the past with claims that white people are more intelligent than blacks and that criminal traits are genetically inherited."



Next this guy will be saying that all Americans are fat and stupid and providing test results to prove it.

whatever
