I asked ~7k males and ~5k females in relationships if they thought they were "intellectually matched" with their partner. On a -3 (disagree) to 3 (agree) scale, females answered on average 1.73, and males answered 1.22 - about a 0.5 point gap.

Does this mean that men have a lower estimation of their partner's intellectual parity with them on average than women?

I'd expect this to be the case for women in relationships. I don't think they'd be in one if not.

interesting results, if you have income data would be interesting to segment that way.
