Are women smarter than men, objectively speaking?

Question

there wouldnt be more in business bc it is not how they were raised, more men were in that field

Answer 1

I think most men are smarter logically and most women are smarter creatively.  That's why most men can figure out directions but most women cannot read maps.

Answer 2

I think, in general it has been shown they are better in subjects, I recall one being math, and men tend to be better at visualizing, and at being objective....typically.

I think we should take people as individuals though, this sort of generalization can be misleading and dangerous.

Answer 3

Yes....they are smarter...most of them has a sixth sense....even men are smart...but women are smarter!!!!

Answer 4

If your going to try and solve this objectively, your probably going to run into some pretty quick problems. Whats the measure your planning on using, and how do the potential biases affect your aggregate results. Is it even plausible to compile aggregate results in an effort for objectivity when the term smarter, is something of a subjective notion.

Id imagine if you could get by all of the hurdles, youd likely find the numbers were fairly similar, if for nothing else, simply because the ranges of objective scores would likely end up being awfully similar when you use a group of people as large as teh entire species.
