If you carefully read my post, you'll note that females employ different strategies when it comes to spatial rotation.
Here's an article that illuminates how stereotype threat may cause most differences:

And, here's a fun fact, although I think IQ is a worthless measure beyond a few standard deviations, the person with the highest measured IQ is a woman. (Although, she famously misinterpreted the mechanics of the Monty Hall problem, but that's normal human statistical fallibility. See Steven Pinker et al for more on that.)
- thras 18y agoInteresting that the article you cite seems to claim that women are far more likely to go to pieces under the pressure of "stereotype threat" than men are. What a sexist you are.
- zackattack 18y agoYou don't understand stereotype threat. A white person's working memory will be significantly less affected by a prototypical derogatory race-slur than a black person subjected to a prototypical derogatory slur against the black race. Social context is important.
