WHAT GENDER HAS TO DO WITH INTELLLIGENCE

The issue and arguement on gender brilliance and intelligence has been on for like forever, different individuals have nursed different opinions and people have various explanations; some have argued girls are more intelligent than boys while others have an opposing opinion on the stand. This is another reason why human evolution seems really incredible, man and woman body structures are built differently and one stronger than the other in different ways and build ups.

Although, Science has yet to establish a logical scale by which it can be established that one sex is more intelligent than the other. But for the purpose of this’s write-up, here are some facts that provides some sort of needed facts and explanations on the subject matter.

Naturally, the average weight of a male brain is slightly more than that of a female, so is the average body weight of a male, in both sexes the brain weight makes up about the same percentage of total weight. Differences in brain size is not of much importance. All human beings, male and female, have such a large number of nerve cells in their brains that a few more or less do not make any significant difference. But these are minor little details that actually counts for what we are looking at here.

Various tests have been conducted on a group of girls and boys and results have come almost the same. In tests, dealing with skills, the average score for girls is higher. In tests of technical and mechanical ability, boys have a higher average. But these figures are not very important because these may not be a good measure of people’s abilities. Also this is only an average data on certain tests, one sex may score more than the other but the results are almost same in other tests.

Girls and boys are treated differently right from their childhood. Girls are usually given dolls to play with while boys get electrical and mechanical toys. Therefore, girls are expected to be less technical than boys. But now time is changing. More and more girls are competitively working with boys in similar fields. That is why their capabilities are becoming equal. This implies that it is the kind of upbringing and training that decides the ability rather than gender considerations.

At present we have no scientific evidence by which it can be proved that which sex is intelligent than the other. Neither sex has a monopoly on any special mental ability. Individuals of both sexes deserve every possible chance to develop their abilities and to become whatever they want to be. It would be incorrect to judge brightness and intelligence on gender grounds.
