Question

"It is research that is guaranteed to delight men - and infuriate the women in their lives. A controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligent than women.

The study - carried out by a man - concluded that men's IQs are almost four points higher than women's."

Answer 1

I've read this, it came out in US news last week. All it really concluded was that men have physically larger brains, something that was already known. Four IQ points is within the limits of statistical error, and is thus meaningless. If size of the brain is all that matters, then whales must be omniscient gods since thier brains are about six times larger than ours.

Answer 2

Well, as a man I have met alot of dumb guys. I think its realy based on a census of intelligent men and women and then counted out. Like for every 3 men theres 1 women. They couldn't have just compared one man to one woman. You dont belive for every man you come across there isn't a woman thats smarter?

Answer 3

hardy - har - har. try to be polite in language here. each gender has their areas of expertise in knowledge just like individuals do. also various cultures and societies have different areas of knowledge which are more important than others. the average person in our modern society would have a much different area of expertise than a person from a so called primitive culture and society and vice versa.

Answer 4

Studies can prove whatever the researchers want them to prove. I'm very wary of most studies.

Answer 5

Would be nice to see something done in the common sense category .. Mechanical aptitude.

Answer 6

That research is nonsense. Only four points higher - nonsense!

Answer 7

I don't see the need for women to take offense. I mean they are sitting on a 'gold mine.' What else do they need.
