What's the difference between female and male intellect?

Question

What's the difference between female and male intellect?

Answer 1

No difference that I know of and I don't think there is.

I believe my intellect is from what is between my ears not my legs.

Answer 2

"A British researcher reports that the male ego is often larger than his actual IQ.

Are men smarter than women?  NO.

But they sure think they are.

An analysis of some 30 studies by British researcher Adrian Furnham, a professor of psychology at University College London, shows that men and women are fairly equal overall in terms of IQ. But women, it seems, underestimate their own candlepower (and that of women in general), while men overestimate theirs."

Answer 3

I believe that males and females are tremendously smart in very different ways. Males are generally smarter at things like math, logic, puzzles, and analysing. Women are better at planning, organization, and emotion-reading. You may say it's not true but believe me, most of this I have seen.

But nowadays I also notice that, while being given the opportunities to do things they couldn't do before, women are slowly taking over men's work. Like things to do with business and god knows what.

And one last little thing I feel is interesting to point out:

I also notice that, strangely enough, almost all the great artists out there are still males. Not much accomplished women artists. This displeases me somewhat. I guess women aren't as amazing as they claim. Don't pound me for it, I may be wrong... but they have yet to prove themselves. But I really think men are better at a wider range of things than people expect.

Answer 4

Very little, most of the "differences" can be attributed to our socialization.

Answer 5

Females are just as smart its our way of life that kindof tryes to dumb them down.  You treat someone like they are dumb there whole life they might start to believe it.  Life isnt about math and science i forgot all that garbage and my spelling and grammer.... forget about it.  You learn what you need to survive,  you learn how to make money,  you learn how to change others opinions of you,  everyday everyone learns and you only learn as much as you want to.  

IQ means nothing its all about your drive to survive.

Answer 6

To me, intellect has nothing to do with the stuff they teach in school, i.e. math, science, history. You need to know things about the real world in order to be smart. And there's no difference between female and male intellect. There's only difference of intellect in different people, it has nothing to do with gender. The only reason everyone thinks that is because you're used to living in a world where people treat females as dumb. And it's the men who are doing it, soo.. what does that say about them? Of course, no one digs that deep.

Answer 7

Women and men think differently...they believe that women are smarter than men but this is underplayed due to society still giving us glass roofs. However it also depends on how a person is raised..what type of environment and economics play a big roll in this. It just all depends on a bunch of out side factors that contribute to each persons intellect.

Answer 8

There is virtually no difference. There's a lot of myths that say that men are better at math and science and women are better at reading and language, but studies have shown that these differences are almost non-existant. It also varies by culture, probably due to social expectations being higher for boys than girls in schools.

Answer 9

There isn't any. All peopel are individuals and it's ignorant to state that 'all men are X' or 'all women think Y' because everyone is different.
