    I strongly suspect that this will have the same flaws as those surveys that came out claiming men are smarter than women. The problem is there is very little that can be done to accurate measure "smarter" - (IQ tests have less application than you think - they measure very specific abilities)

    Gender differences generally get exaggerated to make interesting and controversal reports.

    Extrapolating a small sample to the whole population seems a little farcical to me.

    For instance, calculating the average math SAT scores is a far more valid approach to measuring ability.

    Lol, fluff-science, because pretty much all these 'gender-idea' studies have no impact on individuals.

    You need to lighten up a little though, the last part of your question was very passive-aggressive.

    Couldnt somewhat permit you recognize. one component that it may desire to be although is we truthfully do in comparison to grasp it alls. Thats to no longer say that we dont like a clever woman yet no guy accessible needs to consistently be corrected over no longer using propper grammer and issues like that. i might think of because of the fact the iq selection is going up there's a extra advantageous possibility of that going on it somewhat is somewhat like flipping the mild swap off to us. Be clever, no longer a clever a** is what im somewhat saying.

  • I doubt it is a valid study. Intelligence does not depend on gender.
