A new study has revealed that men are indeed smarter than women, but still make poorer decisions when compared to women. The study, which was conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, analysed data from over 6,000 people who participated in an online test.
The results showed that, on average, men performed better than women on tests measuring cognitive abilities such as mathematics and spatial reasoning. However, when it came to making decisions, women outperformed men. Researchers believe this is because men are more prone to rash and impulsive decision-making than women.
The study, which was published in the journal Psychological Science, was conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. The team analyzed data from over 6,000 people who had participated in an online test measuring cognitive abilities and decision-making skills. The results showed that, on average, men performed better than women on tests measuring mathematical ability and spatial reasoning. However, when it came to making decisions, women outperformed men.
Researchers believe that this discrepancy is due to the fact that men are more likely to engage in rash and impulsive decision-making than women.Lead author Kate Suttle commented on the findings, saying “This may be because men are more likely to engage in risky behaviors or because they are overconfident in their own abilities.” Suttle added that the findings could have important implications for fields such as investment banking and politics, where men tend to dominate.
While it has long been believed that men are the smarter sex, a new study has revealed that this may not actually be the case. The study, which was conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, found that while men outperform women on tests measuring cognitive abilities such as mathematics and spatial reasoning, they still make poorer decisions when compared to their female counterparts. Researchers believe this is because men are more prone to rash and impulsive decision-making than women. So there you have it—the proof is in the pudding! Men may be smart, but when it comes to making decisions, they could learn a thing or two from women.
