text: scientists have reported that males have more(3.5)iq than womens in average.do you agree this?   i have read this study. there are many questions that you must take into consideration while interpreting this study. one is the way in which women learn and think as this will effect the way that women respond to these sorts of intelligence testing. also, you may want to consider the ways in which young girls are treated in the classroom as opposed to boys as well as the expectations. it might come as a suprise but even still young women are not expected to excell in things such as maths or science. expectations can be personalised and thus creating self fullfilling prophesies.  what about the fundamental problems with the iq test in general? can intelligence really be measured with such a simple test? what about the motive of these scientists when conducting this study and the biases when interpreting these results? how was the study conducted? was it a man or a woman conducting the iq tests? what sort of effects can this create? and on and on.  then again, i'm just a woman.
