I was IQ tested as a female child and found to have an unusually high visuospatial IQ and exhibited masculine traits. As child, I had shown great love for maths, art, engineering drawing, woodwork, etc. I was weak at languages and hated poetry. I did not multitask like a stereotyped female should. Right up to today, I have manlike hobbies like the comic collections, 3D modelling, programming, woodwork, etc. My one room for studies is like a man's cave with all the things that I have collected over the years. My nephews all love that room and cannot stay out of it. My sisters absolutely forbid me to speak of my interests to their partners who too collect comics/graphic novels and auto magazines. Women just hate men having their own caves and hobbies. Meanwhile, I see nothing wrong in men having their own room for recreation and introspection. Another difference about me, I don't carry handbags or wear makeups. I dress mostly in jeans and baggy tops. I am not as conscious about my looks as most females are. Yet, I am heterosexual and I don't ever feel I'm born in a wrong body. I think myself as a woman, but in the recent decade, I try to be as feminine as possible, but it is tough and it takes a lot of training. I forget my manners at times and turn uncouth. My ever etiquette-conscious mother constantly corrects my unladylike ways: for example, how I sit, how I stand or walk, how I enter the door, etc. One improvement, I have stopped sticking my hands in pockets, as most women don't do that and only men do that.

[@everlastingideas8625]

Wow. I know you wrote this long ago but I feel like you were describing me. But I always made to feel dysfonctional female since I grew up in a very conservative and stereotypical country. I still persue my interests in maths and science (in my higher education) . Wish I could have had a friend like you .

I'm quite a bit like this as well. I hadn't really noticed about the pockets difference, though I do now that you've pointed it out.

I very much enjoyed this lecture, thanks for sharing! I am currently working on a Physiological psychology essay and was wondering if you had any good reputable studies that might be beneficial for my research relating back to the topic of the video (Male/female IQ bell curve, different levels of ability in different sectors of IQ), thank!

[@PsychExamReview]

Hi, this is a complex subject so you likely won't be able to cover all possible angles in a single paper and instead will probably have to focus on a particular area of proposed difference/similarity. I'd recommend beginning with some review/summary papers on the topic in general (searching for researchers such as Diane Halpern, Richard Nisbett, Richard Haier, Ulric Neisser, James Flynn, or others might help you get started) and then choosing a specific focus and investigating related studies cited in those reviews.

[@Loofwoof]

Hey, I really liked this video, I’ve been seeing a lot of conflicting viewpoints and this seems like the respectful midpoint. I know this is an old video, but I would like to know, has the whole “men and women on average have the same iq with men being the outliers on both sides” really been debunked? I’ve seen “evolutionary psychologists” on twitter claiming it has been debunked because that study was only done on 11-13 year old children, and men surpass women by 3-5 points in adulthood. They seem to all cite Richard Lynn who is very controversial. They cite his Raven Matrice test with 57 samples and many consider this to be the most reliable.

[@hugoduarte8135]

Hi. I know this video is old, but I'll try to push your attention to this subject again. What do you think of Lynn’s findings on this? He asserted that, contrary to popular belief, men, on average, have higher IQ than women. And this conclusion is drawn as soon as we control for the age. Girls up until the 14-15 years old develop their brain faster compared to boys, but then, from 16 years old, the brain developmental in boys is faster. When the brain is fully mature in both sexes, we find a difference of around 4 IQ points between the sexes. This makes sense since brain size is correlated to IQ, and men have larger brains than women (around 100 cc) when adjusted for body size.

[@PsychExamReview]

I've addressed this briefly in response to another comment here, so I'll copy my previous reply below, with the additional reminder that I'm not an expert on this and so I don't follow the research closely. I don't want to seem dismissive of this possibility, but I do think the problem with university samples and differing enrollment rates by IQ for men and women does present an important consideration when thinking about these kinds of results, and one that perhaps is growing as the gap between men and women in academic settings and college enrollment continues to increase. Here's my previous reply: I assume you are referring to Richard Lynn and Paul Irwing's research suggesting a higher male average beginning around age 15 on the Raven Progressive Matrices. This may well be the case but it may be too early to be sure as there are other conflicting results and suggestions that university samples may be distorted (essentially because women tend to do better in school while more men drop out which would lead to women with lower IQ but higher academic achievement being over-represented in university compared to their IQ-equivalent males). For more on this you can read: www.researchgate.net/publication/251531344_Modern_women_match_men_on_Raven's_Progressive_Matrices Obviously this gets to be a complex and contentious issue with potential biases on all sides but hopefully more research will eventually lead to clearer understanding. As someone who is not an expert in all the details, I would say that so far there seems to be fairly strong consensus on differences in task performance but for average differences I don't think there is consensus yet. If you have suggestions for other papers to read I'd be happy to take a look, thanks for commenting!

[@tescoasda3879]

If women and men have the same average Iqs, then why do men get higher scores when the task increases in its complexity. For example, on simple mathematical word problems, males and females perform the same, but when the word problem is made more complex, involving more abstract reasoning, an advantage begins to emerge favouring males. And on simple verbal tasks such as verbal fluency, women and men perform similar, perhaps a slight advantage for women, but when the verbal task becomes more complex such as more abstract like a verbal analogy problem, then a clear advantage favouring men appears. And on the ravens progressive matrices, men started to do better towards the end of the test where the items are the hardest. So it seems like men have advantages in educting complexity and solving harder problems?

Hello where can i find how the IQ is designed as you said, not to be biased toward one sex? I only need the official sources

[@PsychExamReview]

Great question, here's a brief summary of this process from Diane Halpern's Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities textbook ( 4th edition, published in 2011 p.92). The reference is to Nathan Brody's book Intelligence, 2nd edition. "There are several ways to find answers for this question. One logical way is to obtain large random samples of women and men, give them a psychometrically sound intelligence test (one with good statistical properties), and compare the scores for women and men. The sex with the higher average score would be the smarter sex. Although this may seem like a logical, straightforward approach to answering the question of sex differences in intelligence, it won’t work. Intelligence tests are carefully written so that there will be no average overall difference between men and women (Brody, 1992). During the construction of intelligence tests, any question that tends to be answered differently by males and females is either discarded or balanced with a question that favors the other sex. Even though intelligence tests are revised repeatedly to reflect changes in the population, all changes are carefully considered so that they do not benefit men or women as a group. Therefore, average scores on intelligence tests cannot provide an answer to the sex differences question because of the way the tests are constructed."

Have IQ tests been manipulated so that women and men end up with the same IQ? Do IQ tests have a reduction in mathematical/spatial questions and an increase in verbal reasoning questions than when they were originally designed?

[@PsychExamReview]

"Manipulated" might sound a bit devious, but the idea of creating gender-neutral tests is to balance aspects of fluid intelligence that are recognized as showing gender differences. "Gender-neutral" can be considered a misleading term though, since the tasks cannot really be neutral. Tasks involving mental rotation or verbal reasoning may represent slight advantages to males or females but both types of tasks relate to fluid intelligence and therefore should be included (regardless of who is taking the test). As for specific changes over time, I'll admit that I don't have enough knowledge of particular test revisions or the statistical analyses involved to give a clear answer but I would be interested in reading anything someone finds and shares here.

[@j2582]

@@PsychExamReview "Tasks involving mental rotation or verbal reasoning may represent slight advantages to males or females but both types of tasks relate to fluid intelligence and therefore should be included (regardless of who is taking the test)." Is mental rotation verbal reasoning? Is verbal reasoning, actually reasoning? Is there logic involved here? Or is it more of an ability to socially communicate? If it is reasoning, then what are you saying here? Is it more applicable to reason how an electrical current can be transmitted into sound waves and back again verbally, or does it make more sense to do so on paper? There is some fishy world play going on here to say the least. You must realize, then, that if verbal reasoning does not actually use reason and logic to determine scientific advancement, or solve problems that are not constrained to illogical human emotions, then it's really not reasoning or logic. It is more of an emotional manipulation constrained to the irrationality of the human mind with no true ability to extend itself beyond that. Consider that males are 4 to 5 times more likely to have autism than females. Oh, but of course, our brains must be the same. We must adapt our intelligence tests to reflect this. I mean, it's only polite, and of course we aren't emotionally intelligent if we can't be polite - right guys? So we'll just change the test not to measure the capacity toward a certain objective, and obscure what it was originally purposed to measure. Have you ever questioned what the agenda might be behind this, and how detrimental it is for society?

I really like the video and I would like to see more. There is also a difference in the curve between right and left-handed people. The curve of the left-handed is broader than the right handed one. In an article (which I unfortunately don't have the link to anymore) they said, that this was mainly the cause because we live in a world created for right-handed people. Left-handed people have to constantly adapt to the right-handed standard. Some left-handed can adapt well and learn and improve there skills, others can't do that. What this means is that through need for adaptation to the norm the curve gets broader. Some manage to do it and have therefore a higher iQ others can't have a lower iQ. Now my Question is could this also be the case between men and women? That would mean we live in a world created for women, and men have to adapt to this world. Some do it well and some don't.

[@PsychExamReview]

I'm not familiar with research on curves for left vs right-handed people so I can't really comment on that. As a left-handed person, however, I'm not sure that the challenges of adaptation are particularly large or that those kinds of adaptations would influence scores on IQ assessment tasks. My intuition on this would be that other differences in brain organization that cause left-handedness may also be responsible for greater variation, rather than left-handedness itself, but as I said, I've not looked at the research on this topic. I would take the same approach to explaining the gender curve differences. I don't think it's true that we live in a world created for women that men need to adapt to, so I don't think that would be driving the variation in males. I think it's much more likely related to biological differences in development rather than adapting to the world.

[@lucasc4281]

@@PsychExamReview I agree with you that the difference are probably caused in differecne in brain organization. But then the next Question is why there is a difference in brain organization. Today’s scientist believe that left-handedness is caused because we live in a competitive and cooperative world. As is explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inivipaPeNJlfK8 Wouldn’t you say that left-handed people have more pressure to adapt to the majority of right-handed ?

[@biapac7849]

You should make your references public so we can check their reliability. From the most recent studies and meta-analysis, IQ tests on children show little or no difference before the age of 14. But after adolescence (after the peak of testosterone in males) adult men perform better than women for about 4/5 points differences in the average. To find this, you can look at the most credited IQ tests which are the Raven Matrices. These tests are rightfully regarded as the most reliable because they don't account previous knowledge owned by the individuals which could be the product of environmental variability. They only measure the g factor. As a consequence, your graphs also appear to be wrong: the male distribution should be pushed a bit to the right.

[@PsychExamReview]

Sure, for the general conclusions on male/female differences in tasks and averages scores I mostly referred to summary papers by Halpern psycnet.apa.org/record/1997-30052-008, and Neisser et al differentialclub.wdfiles.com/local--files/definitions-structure-and-measurement/Intelligence-Knowns-and-unknowns.pdf These are both older overviews of the field and as mentioned, some more recent studies have found differences in average performance between males and females. I assume you are referring to Richard Lynn and Paul Irwing's research suggesting a higher male average beginning around age 15 on the Raven Progressive Matrices.

[@PsychExamReview]

In terms of increasing your crystallized intelligence (acquired skills) related to language ability I'd simply recommend reading as much as you can. Choose books that interest you but that also have a bit of challenge to them. This will build your vocabulary, increase your exposure to complex sentence constructions, and improve your ability to express thoughts and ideas clearly. These are skills that will serve you in just about anything you do for the rest of your life, so any time invested in reading is worthwhile. Don't be afraid to start small (maybe 10-15 minutes/day with relatively easy content) and gradually work your way up to larger challenges.

PsychExamReview Hi, I have another question if your able to answer it please. How many points can I hope to raise my crystallized IQ by in 2 years if I work hard? My fluid IQ is 10 points higher than my crystallized IQ, mainly because my verbal IQ is abysmal. Is your fluid IQ generally meant to be higher than your crystallized?

[@PsychExamReview]

I don't think I can answer your first question, but my suggestion would be not to worry much about the scores and instead focus on acquiring the skills relevant to your goals. If your skills are improving and you're better able to do the things you want to do then the scores aren't particularly important. As for the relationship between fluid and crystallized intelligence, this can change over time as fluid intelligence tends to decrease beginning around age 25-30 while crystallized intelligence can continue to increase for several more decades (though higher fluid intelligence may mean that you can increase your crystallized intelligence more quickly, which relates back to your first question). Hope this helps!

I know this video is older so the likelihood of you seeing this comment is low. However, I'm curious about your take on the identification and diagnosis of women and girls with ASD, ADHD, and ID, and how that may relate to corresponding IQ scores.

[@PsychExamReview]

This is a complicated question that I don't have expertise in, so my take may not be very informative. My understanding is that there has been an increase in the diagnosis of ASD and ADHD in girls in recent years, though both diagnoses are still considerably more common in boys. It also seems to be the case that diagnoses of ASD in people with average or above-average IQ have increased, so the relationship between ASD and IQ is weaker than it was in the past. I've seen some papers reporting that about 20-30% of those diagnosed with ASD are also diagnosed with intellectual disability (though this may be in part because those diagnosed with one are more likely to be screened for the other). I haven't looked into details on whether this comorbidity differs for boys vs. girls and how that might relate to the overall relationship between these different diagnoses. I don't have any specialization related to these topics, so this is just my general (and perhaps flawed) overview, but maybe it will provide some starting points you could look into. Thanks for commenting!

Can you cite a computer game or objective test, in which women obtain significantly better scores than men? For example, we have the great problem of understanding why there are so few women among the 1000 best chess players in the world. Could it have to do with the aggressiveness factor, that is known to be higher in men than in women?

[@PsychExamReview]

There are a number of objective tests where women have been found to perform better than men fairly consistently, though there's a number of caveats with interpreting these results. These have been found for aspects of perception (detecting pure tones, touch sensitivity, taste perception, perceptual speed, digit-symbol coding), fine motor manipulations, some aspects of memory (recognizing faces, autobiographical memories, spatial locations), verbal abilities (SAT-V and ACT-English performance, lower incidence of stuttering and reading disabilities), and others. I'd highly recommend reading Diane Halpern's book "Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities" for detailed summaries of these differences, as well as the challenges of interpreting them.

[@ParabolicPlayground]

@PsychExamReview: Very helpful video. As for your question about the autism and disability in the population of men and question about how is that not a result of the patriarchy and society - the answer that I sometimes get is actually that it is the patriarchy that creates toxic environment for SOME man while favoring other. How would you respond to that argument?

[@PsychExamReview]

My response to this line of argument would be to consider that some intellectual disabilities which are more common in males have clearly identified genetic causes (such as Fragile X syndrome). The causes of autism are less clearly understood, but I would argue that the early onset of symptoms suggests biological causes or early environmental factors like the womb (hormone levels, etc) rather than vague claims of patriarchy and socialization. If it is "patriarchy", what is the mechanism, why does it only affect some children in the same environment, and why do these patterns emerge in varied cultures? Incidentally, accepting the patriarchy argument could imply the possibility of placing blame on mothers for their children's autism or disability (because they allowed/created a toxic social environment) or could imply that autistic girls have "internalized misogyny" if they manifest these supposed "toxic male" symptoms - two implications, naturally, I consider distasteful and more anti-women than many aspects of patriarchal society.

[@ParabolicPlayground]

@@PsychExamReview I've encountered individuals who can go even so far as to claim that the definition of mental health is a byproduct of the patriarchy so who we are to say anything normative about mental health. And this line of deconstructive thinking can of course go even further if a person is ideologically driven enough.

So at what social tests are women better ? Some artificial and made-up ones which insignificant values ? Or social roles of leadership ? Because, in terms of leadership(where social skills are the most important) men simply hold better results .And it's also due to males have more resistant brains in terms of stress and this helps a lot when you have lots of responsibilities in all possible roles. And it's a good thing, males don't produce offspring directly and imagine if even their cognitive resistance and physical abilities were weaker, they would be worthless ! So it's no wonder males in species where females are stronger(hyena,mantises,spiders and even bees/wasps) males are treated as punching bags or occasional snack, it's because they see them as worthless due to having no physical abilities even by nature in some cases(spiders, mantises).

It would actually be quite interesting to examine how men and women's intellect differs in daily life. It is my view that men in general know more about politics, sports, history, war and the world in general. However, I also have a feeling that even a video like this that tries to look at things objectively still suffers a bit from political correctness.

There is hardly any use in comparing man to animals. We are a freak of nature, they are nature. Also I'd like someone to stop beating around the bush and give us a strong answer

different people can make a different study with the result they want. studies can be easily controlled. but in reality, almost all of new technologies (new car new plane, smartphone, computer, spacecraft) are invented by men. almost all of theories in math, bio, physic are created by men. chess & chinese chess winner all are men. the tallest people are men. the fastest runner are men. the fastest swimmer are men. this is the fact.

R 小白 I wouldn't deny these physical differences between men and women and don't deny the possibility of cognitive differences either, though these are more difficult to measure. As for the achievements of men, this may in part relate to the distributions I've described, as there will be many more males at the extremes. This, of course, does not mean that women do not also exist at these extremes (though they are less common). Achievements you mention are not just about intelligence and personality trait distributions are also part of the explanation for the over-representation of males in many areas.

what u only can do is to find excuses(studies) for women. but no matter what excuses u find, the fact of men being the best in almost all fields will not be changed. u just can make study, and then excuses, study & then excuses.....study & then excuses, but end up, men are best in almost all fields, nothing will change for what u said. SJW & feminism are scared of differences between men & women, scared the fact, thus they like twisting fact, fear people know the differences. fear people know men are best in almost all of fields. for example, women have the result of 5 scores, then they can say they have 5 scores, but don't just have the result of 5 scores, but love saying they have the best scores. in fact, i can breakdown the sun, but I....have some reason, so i didn't do so, I have no time to do so, i am not interested to do so. excuses are useless, the the actual result is the fact, is the truth.

there are males at the extremes, & there are females at the extremes, but extremes males are better than extremes female, this is fact. men know to run, & women also know to run, but the fastest male runner who certainly run faster than the fastest female runner. women know science, men know too, but the best are men in science, new tech, this is actual result, is the fact. put down excuse & face the fact. be a brave people.

@Severus Snape Nobel prize is CONTROLLED & MANIPULATED by HUMAN. U don't waste time to show flawed logic. i m not interested in STUIPD LIES.

[@小白R]

@Severus Snape you are unwilling to be reasonable? the BEST & WINNER of Rubik's cube, swim, scientist, race, innovator, chess and etc, must be MEN.

This video aged terribly! I hope your views changed!

[@PsychExamReview]

I wouldn't say that they have, I'm always open to updating my views with new information, but I don't think there's been any dramatic changes in the research literature on general cognitive differences between the sexes in terms of task performance that I'm aware of (the only change perhaps being that this has become an even more politically sensitive topic). This video is based on review papers that are admittedly a bit older, but I haven't seen any major challenges to the main ideas here, and many of these differences have been replicated in various places in recent years. If there is something specific you think should be clarified I'd be happy to look into it.

[@TheFastingIndian]

He is scared to say it. Feminist will slaughter him if he says the truth

[@Fandar]

But he is saying the truth. Men and women DO have the same IQ on average with men being more of both extremes.

[@Egg-wt1pk]

@@Fandar Nope males actually have higher iq on average by 5 point. Those researchers who pointed out that are already cancelled by society.
