Are men more intelligent than women?

Question

Are men more intelligent than women?

Answer 1

That's kind of a tricky question.

It is just my opinion that, overall, women have more basic intelligence, but men take their intelligence and put it to better and more constructive use - so it sort of balances out in the long run.

Answer 2

Thats the ego...I hate in men. They think it is...where as it is not.

Answer 3

On the whole I would say no, high intelligents is showing an ability to think, project and understand things clearly and logically, especially to a highly developed degree. intellect is somebody's stored memory & ability to think, reason, and understand, the more the ability makes a very intelligent and knowledgeable person. So I would say it depends on the make up of the individual, through diet, genetics & culture; we are different species, we may be human, though we are very different; battle of the sexes is all about social conditioning, I wouldn't buy into that game, if i do I might start to perceive women in a negative way, they become the enemy in a way.

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

Not really!

Me being  a man can say it , there are smart women ,

Man are supposed to be smart or are trained to be as the parents tend to teach them and in olden days the females where not even send to school they were supposed to cook and take care of the house and kids.So they are not street smart, they tent to be timmed and emotional.

Where as the men are street smart  and logical as they have been exposed to the outside world so to say.

Answer 6

no, its about equal. depends on heredity, stimulation as an infant, nutrition, life experiences, and educational opportunites among other things.  

Answer 7

Define "intelligence".  There's a book called "Why Men Won't Ask for Directions and Women Can't Read Road Maps" (or something close to that).  It'll open your eyes about intelligence and how it relates to gender.

Answer 8

There isn't a chart displaying the differences in IQ between males and females. But there has been an investigation indicating that females are more frequent in the "normal" genius range (150 - 170), and males in the high genius range (>170). IQ tests often favor males a bit, as they in average are slightly better at mathematical thinking. This lack by the females is, in general, in real life compensated by better verbal ability.

However, it is not especially wise to assert that one gender is more intelligent than the other. If anything, male and female intelligence differ somewhat in its nature, not in its power!!!.

Answer 9

Women's IQ doesn't fluctuate as much as a man's does. Meaning, there are more retarded men than there are women, but more men are geniuses than woman. Women are sort of in the middle

Answer 10

The answer is yes why else would we be have created a patriarchal system that still controls women till this day. If women were more intelligent than men it would be a matriarchal society we live in now. DUH.
