Which gender is genius, male or female. Most famoust scientist is male, isnt it?

Answer 1

"Simply more males than females are genius ... any argument?
Look at the records of fact!"

Answer 2

Um, I read it right here on YA, that all the smart people are women. If all the famous scientists are men, its because of evil oppression, right? And, doncha' know Einstein's first wife actually developed the Theory of Relativity?

Sarcasm intended.

Actually, while it is true most famous scientists are men, there have been some great women scientists. An Example is Madame Curie. I think she got two Nobel Prizes, not sure, and also her daughter got one.

Admiral Hooper, a female, was the instigating force behind COBOL, which is still in daily use in the US.

I have said, and will say again, that it isn't the potential that differentiates between men and women in math and science, but preferences. Women seldom choose to become engineers, BUT SOME DO.

There are around 40 experts in the world on lattice ordered groups, a purely mental and difficult math theoretical specialty, and I believe all 40 are men. Most of them are in Russia.

Answer 3

1)Most scientists have been men over the years because women have been kept out of institutions of higher learning until very recently. In the west we couldn't attend college at all until about 120 years ago, and then only at women's schools. Certain schools like Harvard University didn't accept women at all until the 1970s.
2) Which entire gender is genius? I think that certain individual people, and not entire genders, are considered genius.
3) There is more than one type of genius. There are people who are business geniuses, art geniuses, and yes science geniuses.
4)I think you disprove your own theory with your "grammar" although I cringe to even call it that. Until you learn to write, no one will mistake you for any kind of genius at all.

Answer 4

Yes. There are far more male geniuses than female geniuses. The reason is that the standard deviation of cognitive ability for men is twice that of females. i.e., the standard deviation for men is about 30 IQ points and for women it is less than 14. With genius level IQ considered to be 135 it is well within the reach of men out in the second standard deviation where as for women they need to be out to their third standard deviation to make the grade. Simple mathematical estimations would suggest that for every female genius there would be 3-4 male geniuses. Same for morons. For every female moron there are 3-4 male morons.

Read "The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life". Truly, an accessible and scholarly presentation of the subject and statistics of human cognitive ability. Accessible enough even for women to read, but scholarly enough so that most probably wouldn't finish it.

Anyway, I hope that answers your question stud.

Answer 5

There is no doubt about it. The list for males goes on and on; but you actually have to think about the females.

This actually starts in the early years of the males and females. The early years are called the nurturing years. This means that the males are actually put on a successful path much earlier in life. The females will normally play house and have a baby doll, while the males have toys they can tinker with, developing an IQ advantage earlier in life.
