Test the nation
 
A nationwide I.Q. test was taken. What the big hooplah about was which sex would achieve higher scores. Much to my delight, the men won by 2 percentage points, 113 to 111. Now, I was a little surprised by that. I've known a lot of guy "brains" but I have met my fair share of jackasses. What I thought was that I.Q. must vary a lot more among men than women. Does anyone knowif this is true?

I caught the second half of the test... I only missed one. It was math one, too. I can't do that kinda stuff under pressure.

I probably would've missed a lot in the language section if I had taken it.

Men IQs do seem to vary more... I mean, when was the last time you saw a girl who was a total dolt? Ok, bad example... When was the last time you saw more stupid girls in one day than moronic guys?

And then look at most of the higher positions of power... Yes, varied indeed. I must say though, the world is pretty darn stupid.

Yes Yes that is quite true, but think about it.. who build the nuclear bomb? who invented paper? who invented the eletric lightbulb and electricity? who created the formula e=mc2?
Men did... so i'm still very divided on the test..

Wasn't it a group of scientists that Einstein was in on?

I took that test this year and last.
Last year i got 128 (yeah)
THIS year, i got something like 135 (*does happy dance*)

I don't know how accurate it was for me, cause I'm only 15. But still, I knew I was smart beforehand. I'm now trying to join Mensa!

Of course, you also have to realize most of those things were from in the past, but weren't womens rights back then much smaller. No potential for them to get there because of society, but I bet plenty of them would be smart enough had they recieved a good education and gone to work on the matters.
