More Stupid Women

This is going to cause yet another stir. Why do people keep trying to apply studies to these questions?

Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women.

A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests.

Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered.

Their research was based on IQ tests given to 80,000 people and a further study of 20,000 students.

Is a five point spread on that scale even significant and outside the margin of error? Apparently they think that the big differences come at the high end of the scale.

As intelligence scores among the study group rose, the academics say they found a widening gap between the sexes.

There were twice as many men with IQ scores of 125, for example, a level said to correspond with people getting first-class degrees.

At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman.

Ok. I'm just going to open up the floor for discussion. What in hell could account for a more than five to one ratio of genius level IQ people? It's hard to imagine what this could all mean.
