Not the sexes, there the jimmy is just that men have a 5 point IQ advantage and higher standard deviationIt's my understanding that the mean I.Q. score of males and females is the same, with men having a slightly larger standard deviation. It should be noted that the higher standard deviation is not necessarily a good thing for men. Yes, males are over-represented among people at the highest I.Q. echelons, for example among top scientists, but they're also over-represented among the mentally retarded. Come to think of it, the preponderance of males among the most intelligent isn't always a good thing either, on account of the "nerd cliff" phenomenon. My blog |
