- Retric 13y agoThere is plenty of research showing women and men do actually behave differently on average. One of the more interesting is when it comes to there jobs women are more rational as in they chose jobs that better fit their goals. Another is you find more men at the extremes both high and low height, weight, IQ etc. As in there standard deviation is generally higher which is just as often a good thing as a bad thing. Note: Averages and standard deviations say nothing about individuals but they do explain trends.

- jheriko 13y agothank you. i've been looking for this... my google skills are clearly not adequate :)
- quinnchr 13y agoThis is true, but why do these differences change so dramatically when you cross national borders? Specifically, Men have a higher variability in IQ in countries that have higher gender inequality. To me this seems to indicate that it's an issue of culture and the way men and women are socialized, not something biologically inherent to each sex. Not related to IQ, but this study debunks the variability hypothesis in regards to mathematics performance: http://www.ams.org/notices/201201/rtx120100010p.pdf http://www.ams.org/notices/201201/rtx120100010p.pdf
