Women are in a great deal more danger if they don't learn to read faces. If IQ tests included "mind reading" - which is admittedly difficult to test for - then women could end up scoring equal to men. Now add in "predicting the future" ..and bye-bye to the popular claim that men are smarter on average.
So why the dip for women in the 121-140 range? Seems odd. I'd assume a straight line for both sexes would be expected. Is it possible there was an over representation of women or men in certain professions that train you to remember/ or not remember faces in this study for the 121-140 range?
Also where is the linked study? Or is this post only for paid members and thus I'm missing that part?
