WOMEN HAVE BECOME SMARTER THAN MEN

New research by James Flynn, world renowned expert on IQ testing show for the first time in a century of testing that women for the first time are scoring higher than men in IQ tests. He examined data from Western European countries, the United states of America, Canada, New zealand and Estonia to come up with the astonishing results. Up until very recently women's scores lagged behind men's by up to five percent making scientists believe that men were inherently smarter than women. Over the decades, both men and women s IQ's have improved but women have seen a more dramatic surge.
Multi-tasking, an essentially female characteristic is probably one reason for the increase. Flynn speculates that the demands put on women's brains when they juggle work and family may have helped boost their IQscores.
