Men are more intelligent than women

Is this a clever thing to say about women's IQ?
By Tony Halpin, Education Editor
HALF the population will dismiss this story, but a study claims that the cleverest people are much more likely to be men than women.

Men are more intelligent than women by about five IQ points on average, making them better suited for “tasks of high complexity”, according to the authors of a paper due to be published in the British Journal of Psychology.

Genetic differences in intelligence between the sexes helped to explain why many more men than women won Nobel Prizes or became chess grandmasters, the study by Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn concluded.

They showed that men outnumbered women in increasing numbers as intelligence levels rise. There were twice as many with IQ scores of 125, a level typical for people with first-class degrees.

When scores rose to 155, a level associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman.

Dr Irwing, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at Manchester University, said that he was uncomfortable with the findings. But he added that the evidence was clear despite the insistence of many academics that there were “no meaningful sex differences” in levels of intelligence.

“For personal reasons I would like to believe that men and women are equal, and broadly that’s true. But over a period of time the evidence in favour of biological factors has become stronger and stronger,” he said.

“I have been dragged in a direction that I don’t particularly like, but it would be sensible if the debate was based on what we pretty much know to be the case.”

The findings from the study involving 24,000 students will intensify a battle of the sexes that was triggered last week by Michael Buerk, the BBC newscaster, who complained that “life is now being lived according to women’s rules”. He said that men had been reduced to little more than sperm-donors because of the female domin- ance of society.

Professor Lynn, a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster, is no stranger to inflammatory conclusions as the author of a number of publications arguing that there are differences in intelligence between racial groups.

He published a controversial study in 2003 that identified a clear correlation between the levels of prosperity in 60 countries and the average IQ of their populations.

Professor Lynn argued in a letter to The Psychologist this month that the differences between the sexes were explained by a link between IQ and brain size. He said: “Men have larger brains than women by about 10 per cent and larger brains confer greater brain power, so men must necessarily be on average more intelligent than women.”[/quote:10bcd]

Its a good thing he didnt use this place as part of his study. His findings would have been much different im sure. ed:

correct

we already knew this

Nothing new really, just stating the obvious. Kinda like cancer.

Women are for babyies and cooking and cleaning, they done need not to be smert

Judging by your grammatical skills, youre suited to run the kitchen then.

oOo: thats part of zee joke!

me lose brain?

That's unpossible!!!!

i can't wait to hear all of the feminist groups go on about this one.

hah...they will never see it. those butch whores can operate the internte1 happy:

lmao

so many females that I know find a way to fuck up their PC's 1000 different ways. It's amazing. I couldn't do it if I tried.

Yup my uncles sister in law fucked hers up hardcore.

It stopped running he opens it up and the fucking heat sink fell off the cpu. hes like did you hear anything. Shes like well I heard a loud crash in it yesterday, but didnt think anything of it oOo:

This is too much of a generalization, there are idiot men and there are idiot women, but to say one sex is more intelligent seems a little childish, and arrogant. What it comes down to is how well off the person is in terms of education and life style choices. High school is a perfect example, the girls who idolize Paris Hilton and dress like a whore wont go far because they don't think and education matters for the most part, however girls who care about their grades (Not in a crazy "OMG SUICIDE I GOT B-!!" way) and are more concerned with college rather then whether or not they have the newest 3000$ hand bag will go somewhere.

This is just like saying “All Asians are good at math.” Or “All Jews are Lawyers and Doctors.” Maybe it’s true some of the time but it mostly isn’t.

I love stereotypes.

yeah but asian women have the tight pootytang

hahaha

My extra 5 points of IQ gains me 27 mana, and the ability to uber-micro.

What's even more arrogant is refuting the findings of a scientific research study conducted by those who are more intelligent than both you and I. What makes it exceptionally arrogant is that your argument is completely based on personal opinion. Numbers don't lie. However, our psyche and ability to judge and make decisions based on emotion do.

LOL - Too bad there is no way you can bring this up upon a girl and make it go down well. Fuck no. So really, this is only true among men. Women will never accept this.

Girl power.

holy fuck, owned.

rofl, profiled for funny

Agreed.

Thats your opinion on my obersvations.

Not everyone falls into your "numbers". This paper assumes that all women are 5 IQ points lower which again is a broad generlization, and there are excpetions. My point being that the paper isn't across the board proof that men are smarter then women.

Isn't that what makes us human?

PS: Keep in mind that todays culture does influence peoples intelligence.

The most important thing to remember is that all of this is ON AVERAGE. No one denies individual differences in intelligence. eek:

I predict the attempted refutation of IQ tests as a valid tool to test intellectual potential to negate this study...

lol, Well in anycase I'm playing devils advocate, I really don't care.
