Neutral........:D ....

I would suggest reading the entire article [link below]...especially the discussion section....lot depends on what and how the sample has been chosen, the statistics is interpreted....although i have to admit that the findings are uniform across social and economic groups....maybe somebody should do the same study with same methodology using class 10/12 results in India instead of SAT results...that might add to or refute the validity of this study.......

It might come as a sheer disappointment to a few out there, but you know what, with a heavy heart, we will have to dismiss the "significance" of the article in question. Why?

Well, the Impact Factor of the journal itself is 2.2!!!!!..:p
(besides the ambiguity with the sample size and number...check the discussion, as rightly brought up by Priti)

Well Priti you cannot calculate IQ based on 10/12th results in India. IQ is not calculated just by assesing the results of few subjects you are studying for the whole year. It has many components.

And to clarify you on 10/12the results, after 12th, the entrance exams start for various pro colleges and girls definetly lag behind in these exams every year. Now why the theoritical knowledge could not be applied in entrance tests...IQ tests assess application of brain, not storage.

I can give a better explanation for better 10/12th results of girls, teachers generally favour girls in India in practicle and internal assessment...big truth accept it or not.

But no offence ladies, I just explained the 10/12th result mistry. Take it easy and may be RK Sir is right...may be the female beauty is a distractor and this distaction is natural.

i tell you what .. in whatever sense you meant it .. there way no way i could have taken it in bad taste as my mother UNDOUBTEDLY belongs to the rare breed of "intellectual females""........ she is as i have mentioned before, she is a scholar in her field .... so even if you meant it as a sarcastic comment .. it was very true ...

just that you did not know that there was a chance that your sarcasm might infact be the truth ....
 
Intelligent women

intelligent women most often dont have calmness.
they are smart but their convincing ability is less than equally intelligent male.they are also more confident of taking hard decisions easily
