Men and Women are different

I am sure you will be aware that there is a huge amount of research that explores the psychological differences between men and women. What this research has found is that generally (and I will stress "generally" as these findings do not apply to every single man or woman) the following patterns have emerged:

Women:

* Score better than men on some language tasks

* Show a faster rate of language development

* Score better than men on some tests of social judgement, empathy and co-operation

* Are better at tests that involve generating ideas.

Men

* Perform better than women on mathematical reasoning tasks

* Score higher at tests that involve distinguishing between figure and background

* Find it easier to rotate objects in their mind's eye

* Are better at hitting targets

I will stress that these findings do not show that one sex is better than the other, they show that they are different.
