However, determining whether men and women differ on average has been more difficult. The primary reason for expecting that men will have higher average general cognitive ability, than women is the male advantage in brain size. Resolving this question requires the use of sophisticated statistical techniques to extract g from the results of IQ tests. Some studies find an average male advantage in general cognitive ability, but most do not.

Actually, thre's no scientific proofs about your question But i can say that the mental capacity of people doesn't depend on one's gender... It depends on the person itself... In, Genetics.. they can't still tell if intelligence can be inherited from the parents... it's still a confusing question in Genetics. Also it doesn't depend on the size of the brain.. example, the brain of a boy comprises 2% of his weight while the brain of the girls, comprises 2.5% of their body weight.. We can tell that a girl's brain is larger, but still, it can;t be our basis of who is smarter.

I artwork in a library and that i have considered a e book on smart females that lists a minimum of 1000 sensible females. I easily have also considered many articles in medical magazines like 'New Scientist' and 'the recent England medical mag' that describe some ameliorations between adult adult males and females brains. the adult adult males aren't any more smarter; in reality, adult adult males were got here across to have decrease IQs usually. i'm F; i'm in Mensa and the final public of Mensans are females. adult adult males and females are stronger in diverse elements of their brains. adult adult males are stronger contained in the left, consisting of math and common sense. females are stronger in mind's eye and invention. only because they are stronger in those sections would not make then restricted to those sections. adult adult males are better sexist than females, who've been in outer area. i'm engaged on 2 patents, myself. Are you?

It depends on the definition of smartness, and surveys say its not the gender its the other factors (like parenting, location, environment) that makes you smart and not necessarily only gender

A boy has something that a girl doesn't have, but he can't use it and his brain at the same time.

it depends on the person not on gender but in general girls have more communication skills while boys are more able to concentrate on one subject

obviously it depends on which girl and which boy. there is no average. and it also depends on your definition of smarter.
