CB, most "scientists" are wrong: <Most scientists think there's no real difference between men and women when it comes to total intelligence (commonly called IQ). >

There is a small difference at the median and a BIG difference at the high end.

Males mature later = that's a major cause of intellectual difference [in my theory of how girls' education, and boys', is badly designed].

<At any rate, when I took aptitude tests to get a job at Exxon Refinery (Baton Rouge), they told me I scored the highest of anybody who had ever taken that test, male or female. >

Which perhaps says something bad about the talents of those working at Exxon Baton Rouge. Or maybe the test was new. Or they lied. Or you were excellent at the things they were testing.
