Who is more smart, men or women?

Question

Even if you think it depends on the person, who do you think is overall.

Adam1978 · Accepted Answer

Well men are the most extreme in both directions. You find the smartest and the dumbest. That said lately the dumb fraction of the female as been very vocal about a new wave of feminism that is retarded. The smart women don't need it, because they can see what it leads to, otherwise they are only educated not really smart. Big difference. Being smart is solving and seeing patterns and acquiring facts. Not just the last part that is the education system that feed you facts and doesn't teach you to question why and which of the facts that is forming you in the direction of what they want you to go and if it really are all good and for the best.

Men, and this has been scientifically, objectively proven. Most women are around the same level of intelligence; average. But men are far smarter in the world AND far dumber. And it makes sense that men would have more variance. Women have more variance when it comes to personality and how they act (such as tomboys vs girly-girls, butch lesbians vs lipstick lesbians, etc).

So yes, men are "smarter." But men are dumber, too. However, among humanity as a whole, almost all of you are complete dumb-asses, and worse yet, half of you are even dumber than the "average" dumb.

There are different kinds of intelligence.

Like men have better understanding of driving as women effectively perceive emotions based on just body language. That's not to say that women are typically bad drivers or a man cannot be emotionally maturer than his girlfriend. With training, you can increase certain levels of smartness.

I think both are smart equally.

You can’t really generalize like that it depends on the person, and different people have different strengths.

And even if we are speaking from a general perspective - which we shouldn’t in this instance but let’s just say we are - guaranteed both men and women will have different strengths and weaknesses.

MrOracle · Answer

According to research, far more men are on the outer edges of the bell curve than women. In other words, there are more very smart men and more. very dumb men than very smart or dumb women. Women tend to mostly fall in the middle 90%.

ODC2112 · Answer

On average, men and women are equally intelligent. However, only on average. Women have a constant average and very low variability, it is extremely rare to find a very intelligent woman, while it is much more common to find very intelligent men and also very stupid men. If you want it in statistical terms, the distribution of intelligence in men tends to be platocurtic, the distribution of intelligence in women tends to be leptocurtic.  Male vs Female IQ distribution

BCA6010 · Answer

This is a hard question, because I don't think you can easily judge someone's actual intelligence without sitting them down and grilling them for hours, which would then cause fatigue to become a factor.

Generally speaking, I'd say men ACT more intelligent in the professional workplace, but I'd also say it's because they're generally more focused and common sense-driven, so less likely to witness them doing something stupid.

I've known plenty of smart women and at least in my experience in schooling, 6 out of the top 10 graduates in my class including the top 3 were all women. But in the workplace, very consistently the women have been more distracted and less willing to learn on the job. If I had to rate my employees based on their performance at work and nothing else, with a couple exceptions on the opposite end, the rest of the women would all rate below the men, and it's largely because they don't take initiative and aren't willing to learn.

snowboarder720 · Answer

A lot of my friends agree that I’m smart (I have a bachelors in Electrical Engineering). My girlfriend, who just graduated grad school with dual masters in magma cum laude, is MUCH smarter than I educationally and on the street.

Honestly being ‘smart’ doesn’t pertain to a gender. There are REALLY smart people in every group.

The correct answer is both. However due to the fact that this world kisses a man’s ass and segregates women due to their gender and pay them less for the exact same job, they need to live in this world more consciously than men. I truly admire them. Especially Black women.
My answer is women.

Cybermetal93 · Answer

The smartest people in the world with the highest IQ are men. To name a few, Albert Einstein, Mozart, Beethoven. Also, most high-paying jobs are usually carried out by men. A lot of CEOs are men and also Presidents and people in leadership are also men. They also state that tall man out of everyone both men and women have the highest IQ and are generally the smartest.

Tunasub · Answer

There are a lot of factors. In general I don't think that can be determined. If you were to break it down to different subjects then that wouldn't be mean who is smarter it would come down to who is more knowledgeable about that particular area in question. Overall intelligence between man and woman I don't think can be determined.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I think Women are smarter if you see the education
in our schools, you will see that guys like to daydream
and check out the chicks, while girls don't give a dam
but get down to their books and take in what the teacher
has to say while guys just sit there and let it go from one
ear throughout the other, I know for a fact cause I did a lot
of daydreaming maybe that's why I got severely bullied

pjf1958 · Answer

It's obvious, women are not in a constant struggle with themselves. It's a known fact that men have two brains and women have one. Now, that seems if you had two brains, you would have an obvious advantage. Unfortunately for us then one brain is located in the skull and the other ones located in the penis. This is why we get in trouble so often.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Smart people are rare, there are more famous smart men than famous smart women by a large margin, we do not know how many non famous smart men and women exist, but we do know its not often you come across them.

Thats about as close to an accurate answer as you are likely to get.

cth96190 · Answer

Published science has shown that men are, on average, about five IQ points more intelligent than women. That makes women smaller, weaker, slower and less intelligent. Have a nice day. :-)

Anonymous · Answer

Now this may be an unpopular opinion. But can’t both genders be smart? I mean we’re all smart when it comes to different things because each person is different. For example someone may have more artistic smarts than someone with business smarts. So it really all depends on the person and their intelligence level.

JackSmy · Answer

In what way? How are you measuring "smartness?" Biased as FCK, IQ tests?
Oh, wait, WHO CARES!! If I like her, and she likes me, we have NEVER, EVER discussed who is "Smarter" because WHY? We don't CARE!
Put it on your resume, or CV?

djmzes · Answer

Simple Why do we care to compare?  Why not appreciate what each other can bring on the table, rather than comparing.

DeltaCharlieEcho · Answer

Statistically women group closer together in the IQ bell curve at 100 average; meanwhile there is virtually no representation of women at the extreme high IQ levels. Fun fact, the average men’s IQ because of this broader grouping sets men roughly two points higher on average than women in IQ.

This question isn’t one of opinion; it is one of measured statistics with an objective outcome. Women are not as smart as men even if the difference is two points.

AD240pCharlie · Answer

Intelligence is a combination of nature and nurture, so I do believe that men in general might score higher on IQ tests and things like that (I could be wrong, I haven't looked it up) but that's not because we are inherently smarter than women but because men have often had more opportunities. There's also the fact that there is much higher expectation on men to be intelligent which obviously plays a role as well.

“Who is more smart?” Well, the ladies start from behind in the very first sentence. 😬

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Well its about even in terms of IQ although the spread is a lot different. In practical terms check out any survival show. Leave 10 men in the ruins of modern society and they will thrive, leave 10 women and they will be dead in a week. Certainly its more about the individual though.

Leavesbound · Answer

It depends on the kind of thing we are talking about. Men tend to be "smarter" with regard to physical things and women tend to be "smarter" in communications.

A_Bell · Answer

The average person doesn't exit. We are all individuals. Say men or women are smarter means nothing, since both women and men can be dumb. Just look at 98% of GAG posts.

Anonymous · Answer

I’d say women. They know how to get power and seem to be way more resourceful than men. They’re also less likely to care what others think of them because they’ve grown up being told what to think their whole lives. They just know how to take control of their lives and seem way more driven than men.

It's not abiut smarts as much as thought process. Men are more logical and women are more emotional. Men have emotions and women have logical but 5hr process our brains go through to come to a decision are different.

To the absolute SIMPS that said women are smarter, reply to this comment. (I don't actually have my own answer but if I had to choose, the evidence pointing towards men being smarter is definitely more than evidence indicating women are smarter)

hi_it_is_me123 · Answer

There are more men than women with a high iq but also more men with low iq than women. So men are both smarter and dumber than women according a statistic.

AdithyaR · Answer

Can't really say, our brains work in a but different ways. And intelligence can be measured in different ways  Women do better in certain types of mental abilities and men do better in others.

worldscolide · Answer

If you look at the bell curve, women have a higher quantity of intelligent people, and men have more geniuses and dumb asses. So it's kind of a toss up lol.

men are smart. women only think they are smart. but you can tell that they are not so by looking at the scientists and inventors. Even the smartphone you're holding that makes you ask that question was invented, designed, and manufactured by men.

Seriously it depends on their genetics and slightly in their environment, not gender.

Depends. Men are smarter in pure logic, hierarchy and structures, while women are smarter at emotional needs, intuition and care.

There are far more smart men than smart women. There are far more stupid men than stupid women. And there are far more women of average intelligence then men of average intelligence.
