I betchoo those two professor guys cheated somehow and changed the results. :mad2: It simply cannot be! :p
That was most excellent.

SWISH.
This also goes that men are also better drivers than women, but this is old news to me
Not that I'm saying it's blatanly untrue, but I'd have to have a lot more information before I gave that study any credit. "IQ" is known in psychology to be a cheap but not terribly reliable measure of aptitude, among other possible flaws in the whole thing.
I doubt those things would account for such a large-spanned ratio though. So hooray for males.
Doesn't that also say that guys are more prone to be loser nerds?
It was obvious wasn't it.
Men never threw themselves in front of a horse to get the right to vote did they?
You don't need a study to know that.Quote:

That's a completely stupid statement. There's no link between how smart some one is and how much of a nerd they are.
I know of at least 10 people who are nerdier than Urkel, but are as thick at [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
Did you do a study with 24,000 people to support your statement?
That's the plan.
*bites* I misspelt professor. Kill me now and let me die in shame before you in insularity. :mad2: But I won't beg for mercy. :pQuote:

Not as smart as a male professor ;)
the feminine is the same

Maybe they should get their statistics someplace else, they talk about the IQ test and how once you get to a score of 155, there are 5.5 men for every woman. But this IQ test doesn't have a percentile of how many men and women actually participated in it. Also, not IQ tests can really tell you how -smart- you are, but your general thinking skills and certain logics. You can be the most emotionally influenced woman who has a hard time understanding things, yet, have wisdom and knowledge beyond any man. Because women seem to be more frail emotionally, they tend to be swayed into believing they aren't smart enough for a "man's job." If anyone has anything to say against this, please reply, :) I like the debate.
I dunno, I would think that they thought that through as they took the IQ of a set sample; didint they? I don't really put much stock in IQ as well, my IQ score was above average, and I dont really think myself to be all that smart.
I think in general men can be smarter, but we tend to be lazy at the same time. Always little boys as the saying goes. Luckily we get smarter - but will always want a female teacher... duh.
Bipper ;)
This thread is incomplete without some input from Asorie.
OWNED
I don't believe there was a set sample. Men and women seem to be good at different things, but just because of the jobs men have that women don't, can't really prove that men are actually smarter. Me for instance, I'm probably not going to get a very high paying job, I'm interested in Creative Writing, the violin, and anything really artsy. You tend to a see some women want jobs having to do with interior design and fashion, but hey, that's normal for our girliness. I know that some of these women can shoot for higher goals such as being a rocket scientist, but aren't really interested in that field of expertise. I'm not saying all women follow my path, if you're wanting to be a female rocket scientist, more power to ya.Quote:

Wonderful. Now, for many years in history have women always received equal education to men? How long has it been since women were even expected to win the Nobel prize and be chess grandmasters? If you research onto it, you'll see that although the Nobel guy intended a nice Baroness to win the Nobel prize, but (seeing as he was dead) it was 4 years before they let her win one, and only 26 years...2-6, that is, before they let the next woman win. Seriously? Now that we're more balanced in society, more women are winning the Nobel prizes, and women WILL be chess grandmasters :p
Look at this! Looky! Looky!
[q=This site I found >=0]In a speech earlier that year Nobel Committee Chairman Jörgen Lövland, in referring to the awards to the veterans of the peace movement, had spoken of "the men who had done this work." Small wonder that the Baroness just about gave up hope and was much surprised when the gold ring finally came around to her in 1905.[/q]

And they still have the gall to say that. :rolleyes2
If men are so smart, how come my husband NEVER knows where his keys are?......
xD Take my father for instance...Quote:

I really must agree with ya there. I really don't see IQ being a relative point on judging someone. I mean, I am a porgrammer with ceratin skills, that does not mean that someone with a higher IQ tha mine has the same skills that I do or can figure out a problem better.Quote:

That being said, i gues it all lies in your definition of smarter :D
I would like to thank Peter Griffon and homer simpson for taking the time to participate in this study :)
Bipper KNOWS! (Except when it comes to wallet and keys -- and my inhaler... huh:D)
Thank you...and she always knows right where they are doesn't she?.....Quote:

Exactly, or she ends up finding them quicker than my father.Quote:

Do you actually think they'd use anything other than 50-50? They're conducting a study, did you actually entertain the thought that they would put something like 20 women in the test and 1000 men?Quote:

I wasn't pointing out that you messed up your spelling. I was making a joke that would suggest that a professor couldn't be anything but a man.Quote:

And if they are using 50 men and 50 women, they didn't prove it in the essay, everyone reliable essay I've read have put appropriate percentiles to validate their point. Obviously these people could have left out the percentile because either it's false or they're horrible at getting their point across with the appropriate stats. Also, there are other things I've attacked on the IQ test. So this lack of evidence isn't my only attack on the entire matter.Quote:

Ron Burgundy: Big deal! I am very professional!
Veronica Corningstone: Mr. Burgundy, you are acting like a baby.
Ron Burgundy: I'm not a baby, I'm a MAN, I am an ANCHORMAN!
Veronica Corningstone: You are not a man. You are a big fat joke!
Ron Burgundy: I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.
Grrrrrrrrrr
But then again, would you believe it anyway? It was, after all, written by a DUDE.Quote:

It would be no different were the roles reversed.Quote:

Quan, why are you so heavy on the defensive? "well they are men after all" "It was, after all, written by a DUDE." "It would be no different were the roles reversed." No one's beating that horse.
Sounds like a (SPOILER) Load of crap to me. :fpenerg:

Testorone makes boys like to play rougher and compete more. These testosorone levels also affect the speed and clearness of our thinking. Higher testosorone can lead to faster thinking, at the cost of concious thinking. I really got into this in AP bio 2. I wrote a long ass paper on it, now i cant find it.... :mad:

I can whip most of the boys in our school at most academic things, so I am content~
There are a few reasons I think this is just a load of bullcrap:
1) As previously stated, the odds of Men to Women weren't included in the article.
2) This was out of the smart people. How many were you everyday average joes?
3) Men aren't better than women and vice-versa. I don't mind sexist jokes, because they're just that, jokes. When someone says that they're better because they're a man or woman, than I get mad.
