Although men have larger brains, men and women have equal IQs. [19] For men, the gray matter volume in the frontal and parietal lobes correlates with IQ; for women, the gray matter volume in the frontal lobe and Broca's area (which is used in language processing) correlates with IQ. [20]
Empirical studies of g, or general intelligence, in men and women have given inconsistent results, showing either no differences or advantages for either sex. [citation needed] The differences in average IQ between women and men are small in magnitude and inconsistent in direction. [70] [71] [72] [73]
It was found that the group of men slightly outperformed the women in both the verbal-numerical reasoning and reaction time tests. Subsequently, the researchers tested to what extent the differences in performance was mediated by the varying attributes of the male and female brain (e.g. surface area) using two mixed sample groups.
You can see that the "normal IQ range" has been considered those in the 85 to 115 range, but also that "below average" has been considered those with a 90 between 100 IQ. One of the charts conceptualizes 70 to 89 as borderline, while 69 and below is considered intellectually deficient or very low. Another chart conceptualizes 90 to 109 as average.
Norwegian epidemiologists used military records to examine the birth order, health status, and IQ scores of nearly 250,000 18- and 19-year-old men born between 1967 and 1976.
For example, he highlights findings from the Novara Expedition of 1861–1867 where "a vast number of measurements of various parts of the body in different races were made, and the men were found in almost every case to present a greater range of variation than the women" (p. 275). To Darwin, the evidence from the medical community at the time ...

Women tend to score higher than men on measures of emotional intelligence, but gender stereotypes of men and women can affect how they express emotions. [7] The sex difference is small to moderate, somewhat inconsistent, and is often influenced by the person's motivations or social environment. [ 7 ]
