Men are smarter than women, so say... men

So BBC posted this article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4183166.stm

About how their IQ tests show that men are a bit smarter than women. Luckily for women, "academics" also claim that women achieve more than men that have the same IQ as them.
Besides the overall questionable science of IQ tests (despite all claims, there is no such thing as unbiased test) and even assuming that those researchers are right. What good does higher IQ do if it does not translate into real life results? May be they should have an AQ test: Accomplishment Quotient test.
Anyways, for the women haters out there, here is a new study to back you up

Very interesting. The quotes are good, I like this one.

I don't think men are more intelligent than women on average. However, from personal experience I would say that the distribution of intelligence in men is more extreme, that is to say, there are more exceptionally clever men than women, but there are also more exceptionally stupid men than women.

Now all I need to do is figure out which category I fit into.

Wow, it actually took them this long to figure that one out?

Not being sexist but just by looking around will tell you that men have contributed more things in this world.

As for applying IQ to real situation. Yes I beleive a real clever person is able to apply it and not just sit on their asses getting a good high IQ mark.

This remind me of a good fight instructor and a good fighter. A good instructor does not mean hes a good fighter. It is how well he can use his knowledge in a real fight. Same goes for a person getting a high IQ test, what is it good for when he cant do things with it, hes still useless in my opinion.

Good or bad things?

Why are you posting this here?

No one here has, or has ever had a girlfriend. And if they claim otherwise they're lieing.

Hey, speak for yourself! I've had loads of GF's, I've even got a child to prove it. Oh, wait a minute, maybe it was the stork that delivered my daughter
