Are men smarter than women? Phil Rushton the professor that conducted this experience says yes. He reviewed 100,000 SAT scores. Those reviewed were 17-18 years old. Does gender have to do with it?
The video interviews a man from the brain institute and he states ” A women’s intelligence is located in the front of the brain. The men’s intelligence is located on the side of the brain, but are equally distributed among the two genders.”
To sum up the study they found that men are smater than women. But is important to stress by only 4 IQ points.
Personally, being a woman myself I could go either way. It has been my observation throughout the years that women are more common sense smart. I’m going to be honest when it comes to math I’m terrible. Come on 4 IQ points, not a significant difference to call men smarter than women.
I agree that women have more common sense smarts than men. I was asked once at a job interview what was my biggest pet peeve with people. My answer was someone with no common sense.
I also agree that 4 IQ points are not enough to draw a conclusion. I don’t think this is a valid test of which gender is smarter. How many points is Phil Rushton going to give for common sense. I am sure that would change the results of this test the other direction.
I would much rather have 4 IQ point less and common sense!!
