Men VS Women: Who is Smarter?
Compare June 22nd, 2009It seems that people have great interest in this problem.Someone says that men are more smarter that women,because we can see many men leaders and scientists.This may be true.At least,I do not see much women leaders or scientists.However,many people do not agree with it ,they think women are more smarter.They think the chances given to women are less than men,so you can not see many women leaders.In fact ,men are very rude.This is not an advantage.
In my view,the problem is very boring.We do not have to debate who are more smarter.
First,an IQ test.IQ tests show that the average female IQ is equal to the average male IQ. However, at the extremes of the spectrum, there is a widening gap between the sexes. In other words, there are more men who score at the top and the bottom end of the intelligence scale.
For example, there are twice as many men with IQ scores of 125 and five times as many men with IQ scores of 155, which is associated with “genius”. Interestingly, however, evidence also shows that at the same IQ level, women are able to achieve more than men, possibly because they are able to multi-task and adapt to periods of sustained hard work. Recent studies also show that in modern society, women are rapidly overtaking men both in terms of educational attainment and occupational achievement.)
It is important to remember that the validity of IQ tests is still widely debated and while they may have value for practical purposes (eg. career choice and recruitment), they have very limited value for analytical purposes. This is because any test relies on a standard definition of intelligence but this definition is impossible to achieve. For many, it is a similarly impossibly task to defining beauty and trying to decide who are the most beautiful women in the world.
Too many factors are involved and intelligence is too complex and multi-dimensional to be able to compare like against like. At best, the tests can simply be said to measure a number of mental abilities.
Second,a survey by British researcher Adrian Furnham, a professor of psychology at University College London.He shows that men and women are fairly equal overall in terms of IQ. But women, it seems, underestimate their own candlepower (and that of women in general), while men overestimate theirs. Furnham talks to NEWSWEEK’s Joan Raymond about his findings and why perceived IQ matters.
Last,the comments of people(I collect on the web).”I always despise the claims that men invented everything. Ever look beyond that? Think why men dominate western history? It’s because women we’re allowed the resources for invention or individual recognition. Men kept women in the house, with the children, doing what they were told they did best”,”It is interesting to analyze whereby women have greatly altered various historical events and the outcomes of particular men’s lives such as in the stories of Samson & Delilah, Cleopatra etc..”,”I stongly beliieve that men underestimate the intelligence of a woman; and this can lead to their demise.
J”.
That is all!

[...] I remember that I have compared the intelligence between men and women.The title of the acticle is Men VS Women: Who is Smarter?.Well this acticle will compare based on the body of men and women,such as the DNA.I agree that [...]
