Women really have better IQ than men
(IANS) / 22 July 2012
Men may now need to think twice before questioning a womans intelligence at home or in the office. Psychologists have found female IQ scores have risen above mens for the first time in 100 years.
Women have been as much as five points behind men since testing commenced a century ago but that gap has narrowed in the recent times. This year women finally came out on top. It may be because they are better at multi-tasking. The breakthrough has been uncovered by James Flynn, the world-renowned authority on IQ tests.
According to Flynn, in the last 100 years the IQ scores of both men and women have risen but womens have risen faster.This is a consequence of modernity.
The complexity of the modern world is making our brains adapt and raising our IQ. The full effect of modernity on women is only just emerging.
