Are Men Smarter Than Women?

Dr. James Thompson writes: “The paradox about sex differences in brain being greater than for intelligence has, to my imperfect recollection, been attempted to be resolved in three main ways. 1) Men are in fact brighter than women, though girls are brighter than boys, because men mature much later (Richard Lynn’s work) 2) Men’s greater brain size is due to better visuo-spatial skills, which ought to be given greater weight in intelligence testing (JP Rushton) 3) sex differences items have been dropped from intelligence tests, thus blurring real sex differences in intelligence…”
