There may way well be other factors aside from intelligence that could explain that difference. But it is probably hard to adapt them into a testable setting.

Sociocultural factors like gendered attitudes toward fantasy, justification and belief could be one. Say, if society ruled (or cosidered) that women ought to be less analytical than men when forming a belief and holding that belief.

Do you have good evidence that more women than men believe these "bottom tier" beliefs?
