The general IQ of the woman folks is definitely better than that of the man folks. There is no doubt about this. Just try to look around and you will find that in the domain of knowledge, women are leaders without any doubt. They are intelligent to the core because they have less of distractions.

But when it comes to application of the knowledge, men are definitely ahead of the women. They may lack in sharpening the general intelligence because of lack of concentration at the time of learning. But they are very wise in using whatever they possess.

In fact IQ is something that should be treated as outdated. The contemporary times demand from us a perfect combination of intelligence & wisdom.

Well, statistically...


The data suggests men score about 4-5 points higher than women on average on IQ tests.

Wether that means men are smarter or not however, is debatable.

i think of this is rather unhappy that lots of listed under are denigrating what's particularly an honorable instinct. i think of feminists disagree with it because of the fact it implies a woman is lesser in some techniques, yet there is not any getting around that certainty that maximum men are greater suitable. i in my opinion get exhilaration from a guy who acts selflessly for others. He could be applauded and respected in my ideas. everyone who runs faraway from his woman on the sight of a mugger isn't in basic terms cowardly yet would not care very lots for you besides. i could think of that solid human beings as we talk think of of keeping one yet another in the event that they are mutually. the guy, whether, understanding he's greater bodily in a position experience a greater robust experience of accountability. this would all be hardwired from eons of evolution besides.

Every one is created equal. It's only by one's hard work, experience and the surroundings that one gain knowledge and wisdom in the course of time.

MAN IQ!

In the special case of science and engineering, there are issues of intrinsic aptitude [between the sexes].”

With these words in January 2005, Harvard University President Lawrence Summers lent new fuel to the contentious debate over whether gender predicts differing aptitude or intelligence in specific areas. But while the politics of gender-based differences rage, the science moves quietly forward to discover the influences on many areas of human health and function, including the study of intelligence, aptitude, and skill.
Brain Biology Differs

While few people would seriously argue that one sex is more intelligent, researchers have found that the brains of men and women do differ physically.

* Brain Size: Men have larger brains than women by about 8-10%.
* Corpus Callosum Size: Many researchers believe that a woman's brain has a larger corpus callosum, which is the pathway connecting the right and left cerebral hemispheres. Some researchers claim this larger size enables women to process information more quickly than men between the two sides of the brain.
* Cortical Thickness and Density: Women’s brains possess more folding. Some researchers speculate this is why women’s brains are smaller overall.

A study conducted by the University of California at Irvine among 48 men and women of comparable intelligence (as measured by intelligence testing) found that women had nine times more white matter in areas of the brain associated with intelligence than men did, while men had six times more gray matter in these areas. Gray matter is involved in the brain’s information-processing centers, while white matter is in the business of transferring information between parts of the brain.

Not only does the type of brain tissue appear to differ between the sexes, but its location differs as well. The study found that women had about 85% of their IQ-related brain matter—both white and gray—located in the brain's frontal lobes. Comparatively, nearly all of the IQ-related gray matter in men is distributed equally between the frontal lobes and the parietal lobes. But since the men and women achieved similar IQ test results, researchers concluded that the different types of brain architecture lead to comparable intellectual performance. In short, men and women take different paths to reach the same intellectual threshold.

But just when you think you’re born with all the innate ability you’ll ever have, regardless of gender, researchers point out that there is some evidence that the volume of the brain's gray matter can increase with learning, and therefore may be influenced by other factors aside from biology.

Sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, appear to have a role in brain development and function. Researchers have some evidence that sex hormones alter the development of certain brain structures during puberty and that these effects persist into adulthood. For example, if a fetus is exposed to testosterone early in development, the right hemisphere develops more intensively. Hence, the reason why men are sometimes referred to as "right-brained."

Researchers have also found that cognitive abilities in one individual can change along with hormonal fluctuations. This has been documented throughout the menstrual cycle for a woman, and even daily and seasonally in men as testosterone levels change. And the gender differences in the brain may literally be hard-wired from the beginning in our genes. Studies in mice embryos have shown a subset of 50 genes to be differentially active in the brains of males and females even before the sex organs develop. Brain researchers suspect that more than 70 genes contribute to human intelligence though no one knows of any gender differences in the activity of these genes.
IQ and SAT Scores

Many studies consistently show that the average IQ scores of men and women are equivalent. Although most of the common tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), are intentionally designed to weed out a sex bias, some gender-specific findings persist.

* Men tend to perform better on spatial questions.
* Women outpace men on reading and other verbal skills.

Men score more at the extremes of IQ scoring—both high and low. More men than women test at the lower end of the IQ scale, and also at the very top. This is consistent with the membership of American Mensa, Ltd, a society whose members test in the top 2% of the population on a standard IQ test. The group reports that 65% of its general membership is male, and 35% female. Yet the Association for Women in Mathematics claims that women earn half of all undergraduate mathematics degrees and one-third of PhD degrees in math.

Similarly, men consistently outscore women by an average of 35 points on the math portion of the college SAT test. Interestingly, some studies show that boys and girls test about the same in math in elementary school. The girls fall behind only later in life, so that by the time senior year in high school arrives, the boys test higher on the SAT. Researchers continue to study whether these findings—and those like it—are the result of gender differences, environmental influences, social pressures, personal beliefs and values, or a combination of all and more.

In recent years there has been a lot of discussion regarding emotional intelligence that has been described as a different type of intelligence that does not deal with cognitive abilities but rather with emotional states. The term has been popularized by Daniel Goleman’s book, Emotional Intelligence–Why It Can Matter More Than IQ?. The author postulates that personal skills like self-awareness and empathy influence your degree of success in life. Further, it argues that emotional intelligence can be taught. Moreover, it seems that gender affects emotional intelligence as well, as women tend to be more empathetic, but men on the other hand manage their moods better.
