	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Women are smarter than they think they are? Monday, January 28, 2008 Women are smarter than they think they are? Article from Newsweek that meshes nicely with my ongoing M/F psych coverage. 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. Do women tend to think that men are smarter than they are? Surprisingly, [both] men and women perceive men being smarter across generations. Both sexes believe that their fathers are smarter than their mothers and grandfathers are more intelligent than their grandmothers. What about the kids? If there are children, [both] men and women think their sons are brighter than their daughters. There are a lot more questions, so check out the whole thing. The doc (wisely) leaves it to others to interpret the results, or comment on their importance in society. He just accumulates and collates the information. He does suggest that this may be changing, since girls are now substantially outperforming boys in elementary and middle school, and with that performance may come increased self esteem, and with it an end to this sort of inferiority complex. Whether that will also lead to men and boys more accurately evaluating their intelligence is another matter. The one that surprised me was that parents thought their sons were smarter than their daughters. I can see that impression coming in their teens or adult life, but children? My impression has always been that young boys are quite stupid, as they fall out of trees and play videogames and crash their bikes into parked cars (guilty on all counts), while girls are more bookish and verbal and mature more quickly. In my relatively limited experience with kids of about ten, the girls always seem smarter and more composed, while the boys are just running around like mad. Perhaps it's the fact that girls are more often shy and reserved, and people associate that with not having anything to say? Readers with more experience, or kids of their own, are free to comment. Labels: psychology Posted by: Flux # 4:35 AM Comments: Must say i agree with the kids stuff. I teach kids of 13-18 in germany as a part time job next to my studies. At this age girls seem overall more mature and thus intelegent not so much in math, as in overall knowlige. Earlier generations... might have been more men had education and expiriance in busniss and women did more housework... just guessing here. I think with the same preparation women and men are about the same with some advantage of each at particular fields. Glad to see frequent updates!

Girls are playing with their dolls while guys are doing very important stuff! #: 5:02 PM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
