Men are More intelligent than Women: Study

During my high school days, I taught a crash course of basic Arabic to some high school students, boys and girls, who were interested to learn the language. The course were held almost everyday for one month. I found out that boys understood a bit faster and were able to speak smoother. When I confronted that to the girl, one of the girls replied: boys are smarter than us.

I didn’t believe the girl’s statement. I believed each individual were born equal. If anything, the difference must be genetical: tall parent, will give birth to tall kids, for example. Or if the fact is such that most girls learn slower than boys in a class, it must be something to do with self-belief: if you strongly believe that you’re incapable of doing something, then most definitely you are.

So, I am not particularly impressed with the new finding in UK, although it’s worth to talk about here, that yes, men indeed more intelligent than women.

The study - carried out by a man - concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.

British-born researcher John Philippe Rushton, who previously created a furore by suggesting intelligence is influenced by race, says the finding could explain why so few women make it to the top in the workplace.

The reason why I post it here is to know from girls and women themselves as to the accuracy of this study.
