According to scientists men are 20% intelligent then women, But how can this be... And actually who is more intelligent
Men Or Women
-
Men are more intelligent because they pocesses more sulcus
The cerebral cortex is a structure within the brain that plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
The left side controls the main parts of analytical thought/thinkng, math, distinguishing things, technical skills, facts,
The right side controls the main parts of creative thought/thinking, imagination, artistry, socializing, etc.
There is a part that integrates the left and the right, it is called the "corpus collosum"
Some of the most intelligent and tallented people have very healthy "corpus collusum" because it's the integration of the left and right brain skills that results in wonderous achievements.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4183166.stm suggests men are 5 points clear on the IQ test. But I've never liked those kind of things. Can't even beat Paris Hilton. [:-'(] [:-'(]

One individual will be more intelligent than another. I don't think sex comes into it.
Women are said to be better at multitasking, while men are better at concentrating on one thing at a time.
I don't think any statistics prove anything at all.
-
Men are more intelligent because they pocesses large conjuctions called cerebral cortex
Aye? What are you talking about?
-
Thats curves in cerebrum I dont know the key word so its like cojuctions or you can say it looks like folds in the brain
-
But one thing is clear men are much more intelligent then women.
But i need a perfect reason..
Can you say why some men are not intelligent.
Is it fault of the parent sperms or it may be cause of children not developing there skill, or it can be a disorder,..
-
Lack of Intelligence I think should be a genetic inheritence from parents....
-
you mean DNA changes
-
you mean DNA changes
No DNA of parents to the offsprings does not change may be some dominant gene take over the recessive gene during the formation of genes this is why the the reason some childrens are not alike to their parents in many characteristic features like intelligence, speech etc...

Sulcus (plural sulci)?
Gyrus (plural gyri)?
-
Thanks I got that.. Does this things have an impact in having more intelligence???
-
Now i remember sulci and gyri they were the two!!

Brain cells and DNA compromise

Which scientists, and where?
-
But one thing is clear men are much more intelligent then women.
Really? Why? What is your evidence?
-
Maybe the 20 came from: Men are 20 times more likely to be imprisoned than women?
-
Maybe the 20 came from: Men are 20 times more likely to be imprisoned than women?
They are also 20 times more likely to get a frying pan wrapped around their head for suggesting they are more intelligent than the wife!
-
And I suspect that in many cases it would be well deserved!
-
Are men more intelligent than women??
Only when they are having sex with women, as then they are plugged into a genius [;D]

Spot on! or at least no dinner.

Perfect answer! [;D]

My husband has an amazingly high IQ (I hasten to add, I'm not too far behind myself! [:I]) and there is no doubt that he is extemely good at lots of things. But he is also severely lacking in several departments. And before that provokes a torrent of suggestions, I will elaborate!
Zero memory, he's always losing things, and can never find anything again once it's lost (and he always accuses me of hiding it, even though we ALWAYS find it somewhere only he could have put it), he can't balance his current account, sometimes even simple maths escapes him (like the time he phoned me to ask how come he was charged £37 when the 2 items he bought cost £16 and £21), he can't work out how to pay the bills (although, granted, that could be sign of super-intelligence there), and he can never work out that it takes more than 5 minutes to get from one engagement to the next when they are 150 miles apart (hence he's always late for everything).
My conclusion? Men are good at some things and women far better at everything else. [;D]

Er, Fishtails - you wouldn't happen to be married to me, would you?
-
Probably. Who knows, you're all the same! [;D]

Hmmm, This strikes a chord. Whenever some bloke on Constipation St. does a naughty on his Mrs, I get a clump round the ear and a rendition of 'MEN! You're all the same'.

But who is more intelligent..
-
I wish I knew. If I did I would tell you, but I don't.

Not ALL men are 20% more intelligent... you should proofread your post!
-
5 points is nothing- if you practice for the IQ test your measured IQ goes up more than that; possibly a typical test is slight male favouring (for example if you add a few spatial orientation questions to a test, men on average do better on those than women, so men would test higher). But as I say, 5 points is nothing.
I have heard though that men's IQs are wider distributed than women's whose are more normative. In other words, there's more smart and more dumb guys than there are smart and dumb gals.

No man with any intelligence would ever suggest men are more intelligent than women in front of an audience containing women. Unless he gets a kick out of being beaten. [;)]

Yeah well, there is that.
