Noted differences and controversial explanations
Men generally obtain better IQ test results, but women demonstrate a more acute emotional intelligence. Moreover, Doreen Kimura’s conclusions are rather largely supported by the statistical results recorded on more than 200,000 candidates of Anxa’s two online IQ Tests. On the IQ tests, women scored an average of 103,1, almost three points behind the men’s results. Yet on the EQ test, these ladies revealed a higher score than men.
In 2003, a (rather bold) study conducted by Spanish-born Roberto Colom and Irish national Richard Lynn suggested that the difference between men’s and women’s intelligences may be in direct proportion to the size of their brains (a woman’s smaller brains vs. a man’s bigger brain). According to their findings, at age 18, the difference between their IQ scores is 4.3 points, the same difference exhibited in the difference in their brain’s volumes. This theory has (understandably) been largely argued among scientists who have researched this phenomenon.
