Men think they're cleverer

The battle between the sexes goes on. According to Professor Adrian Furnham, of University College London, men overstate how clever they are and women underplay how intelligent they are.

The studies show women tend to give significantly lower estimates than men of their own intelligence - about five IQ points - while men tend to overestimate their brain power.

In some sense I really think this is true, but I also think it is a bit sad. Why do women understate their intelligence? Is it because women are weaker than men? Because we use other parts of the brains? Or simply because we are smarter, but hiding it just to make the men feel cleverer?

But the general understanding is that men and women do differ in specialised features of intellectual development. Men tend to do better with navigation skills and numerical skills whereas women do better with emotional intelligence and language. Proofs that really shows that am I a woman all right. Hate maths and love words, languages and to talk.
