Summary:

There were 30 in the UK studies showed that men and women are equal in IQ tests. Men are better in specialized skills, and reading maps and navigating. Women are better in language, and emotional intelligence. All researchers agree that there is no difference between the to genders in IQ tests. Women expect their scores to be 5 scores lower than their real score. In the other hand, men always expect their selves get higher scores than their real score. The results were equal in all the countries that there was a study in it. People who are in the top of the IQ or at the bottom usually are men. Men and women both think that men are smarter than women, so they think that their fathers are smarter than their mothers, and their sons are smarter than their daughters.in schools studies shoed that girls are doing better than boys in all subjects.


Reaction:
I agree with the other that women are smarter than men in language and emotional intelligence, but there are not equal in IQ because men are always in the top of the IQ. I agree in the point that says that men always overstate their IQ score. But I don’t have any idea that women expect their score to be 5 point lower than their real grade. Men and women think that men are smarter in all generations, I believe the other in this point because as he said, people think that their fathers are smarter than their mothers, and their sons are smarter than their daughters. In this point, that girls are smarter than boys at school and they are doing better in all subjects, I disagree, because boys are doing batter than girls in math and science according to a lot of studies. In conclusion, this article was interesting to read but I disagree with the other in some points
