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] Women have greater cortical thickness, cortical complexity and cortical surface area (controlling for body size) which ...
In men the average weight is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g. [4] [contradictory] The volume is around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women, although there is substantial individual variation. [5] Yet another study found that adult human brain weight is 1300–1400 g for adult humans and 350–400 g for newborn humans.
Like all current IQ tests, the Wechsler tests report a "deviation IQ" as the standard score for the full-scale IQ, with the norming sample mean raw score defined as IQ 100 and a score one standard deviation higher defined as IQ 115 (and one deviation lower defined as IQ 85). During the First World War in 1917, adult intelligence testing gained ...
English (en): National IQ scores as estimated by Lynn and Vanhanen in their book IQ and the Wealth of Nations (2002). These are not the revised numbers in their later book IQ and Global Inequality (2006). See for those numbers.
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.

An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardized tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence. [1] Originally, IQ was a score obtained by dividing a person's mental age score, obtained by administering an intelligence test, by the person's chronological age, both expressed in terms of years and months.
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.
