Sex differences in intelligence

Differences in intelligence or mental power have long been a topic of debate among researchers and scholars. With the advent of the concept of g or general intelligence some form of empiricism was allowed, but results are often inconsistent with studies showing either no differences or advantages for both sexes, with many showing a slight advantage for males. One study did find some advantage for women in later life, while another found that male advantages on some cognitive tests are minimized when controlling for socioeconomic factors. The differences in average IQ between men and women are small in magnitude and inconsistent in direction. Some studies have concluded that there is larger variability in male scores compared to female scores, which results in more males than females in the top and bottom of the IQ distribution. This remains a controversial claim.There are however differences in the capacity of males and females in performing certain tasks, such as rotation of object in space, often categorized as spatial ability.
