Women were officially smarter than men

For the first time in more than 100 years of measurements of women surpassed men in the level of IQ. Perhaps this is due to the feminine ability to multitask.

This conclusion, which will surely be questioned. At least one half of humanity, to which the men. And yet, for the first time in the history of measuring intellectual in IQ   psychologists have documented the superiority of the masculine over the feminine mind. From the outset, these measurements 100 years ago, the fair sex all the time held, on average, five points behind the men, that even allowed psychologists to conclude the existence of genetic differences between male and female intelligence.

But in recent years this difference steadily declined, while the women do not get ahead. The world-famous author of IQ-test James Flynn said that the intelligence of men and women grew fairly rapidly, but it turned out that the female intellect still overtaken men.

One possible explanation for this is the natural ability of women to multitask. The fair sex manages equally well to cope with work and household responsibilities and child-rearing. Some scientists believe that women have always had a high potential for the development of intelligence than men, but only recently was able to realize this opportunity.

The conclusions about the superiority of the masculine over the feminine intelligence were obtained by comparing the results of thousands of tests   IQ level Conducted in Western Europe, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina and Estonia.
