IQ tests really went out of fashion in the 1960s when it became evident that all they really tested was the ability to excel in quantative, logic based, non abstract Western academic curriculums.
That said there are profound differences in the way men and women think.. including the following.
The male brain is highly specialized, using specific parts of one hemisphere or the other to accomplish specific tasks. The female brain is more diffused and utilizes significant portions of both hemispheres for a variety of tasks.
Men are able to focus on narrow issues and block out unrelated information and distractions. Women naturally see everyday things from a broader, "big-picture" vantage point.
Men can narrowly focus their brains on specific tasks or activities for long periods of time without tiring. Women are better equipped to divide their attention among multiple activities or tasks.
Men are able to separate information, stimulus, emotions, relationships, etc. into separate compartments in their brains, while women tend to link everything together.
Men see individual issues with parts of their brain, while women look at the holistic or multiple issues with their whole brain (both hemispheres).
Men are typically more aggressive, dominant and more narrowly focused on the physical activity and immediate results.
In men, the dominant perceptual sense is vision, which is typically not the case with women. Women's senses tend to be more balanced, and more finely attuned to aural perception and more influenced by emotion.
We all know that to a certain extent. Try to get a women to give you directions to some place.The question is whether those attributes make for better of worse Presidents. I know they DEFINITELY make women better MOTHERS than men will ever be. But sorry.. that's so sexist. :roll:
