Answer 1

I shall tell my wife when I wake her up in a bit,,she`ll be pleased,,,

Answer 2

IQ tests show potential not actual ability, men have the potential to be more intelligent than women because they are more single minded. Woman tend to be thinking about family etc as well as the task in hand.

Unfortunately men are also lazier than women and few actually realise their full intelligence potential, which is why (especially in mixed schools) girls consistently out perform boys.

Statistics can show pretty much anything you want them to show if you isolate one area and don't show the full picture.

Answer 3

The less intelligent women you know could be so because they are attached to men [as in wo-man]. Most women on average score as highly as, if not more than their male counterparts. It all depends on the criterion on which any given measurement is based.

Answer 4

The reason being that men generally concentrate on one thing at a time, giving them the opportunity to do well. Where as women are always juggling two or more things at once so their attention is divided thus learning takes longer x

Answer 5

Men and women differs in the areas that they are strong, women have stronger speech and social skills whereas men have stronger arithmetic and abstract reasoning skills.Both are equally intelligent, women are good at some tasks and men in other tasks. Men and women perform different functions in human society and therefore require and need different strenghts.

Answer 6

Exam results are fixed! Maybe some women are less intelligent than men, but some women are more intelligent. It doesn't do to generalise.
From a purely personal point of view, I consider myself to be more intelligent than most men I've met. However, I have spent many years in the company of telecom and IT specialists. 'Nuff said.

Answer 7

Maybe it's true. Carol Vorderman is still more intelligent than you though. As are probably many other women. Generalising is easy to do but to just say that women are less intelligent is a little foolish.

Answer 8

thanks for that!
however, did you know that men have less common sense than women? By asking such a question you have just proved that you have no common sense at all.
Some people will do anything to provoke a reaction, quite sad really.
What is your IQ by the way? I bet your not one of the men who are more intellegent than women.

Answer 9

sounds like another divide and conquer tactic. or maybe a justification to pay woman less, or enslave them for some diabolic reason, or to get men to oppress woman or not believe them (same ole same ole of times past). or some otehr reason I am unaware of.

RRRRR

Answer 10

2 article published in August 2005.

You must have searched hard to find those.

Answer 11

And bigger fools look on!

Some women and some men maybe,but take a look around you.

I bet you can find some of each that you are more intelligent than and others you are less than.

We women couldn't quietly rule the world if we shouted our intelligence quota from the roof tops!
