That pic is a lie - men have both a wider distribution *and* a higher mean (by about 4 points)

I did It's quite awful - I'll pick out a few egregious errors >But conditional on being in the 1% of math, the girls have better verbal skills Says nothing about the ratio of girls and boys in the top 1% - just that the girls there still have typical patterns of higher verbalpic.twitter.com/uGTNMLtm2x

1st no, intelligence doesn't reflect study. Knowledge or skills but not intelligence 2nd - also wrong - pick the boys who had top verbal scores and they vastly outscore the girls on math. Look at it that way - boys become more "balanced" - pure cherry-picking presentationpic.twitter.com/zVSoNhRUJq

Perhaps the author doesn't get the same respect for a quantitative PhD because she can't even spot undergraduate level errors when they agree with the position she's emotionally committed topic.twitter.com/imiQ6s3qv4

>Within the extreme tails of the distribution, however, performance is generally equal between the sexes "Generally equal" - hmm, I wonder which sex performs at a higher level? Surely no one would be reluctant to point out specifically that men are more intelligent on averagepic.twitter.com/2LupINx3vw

That's not the important part - the important part is that Aronson was very careful not to contradict the truth (men have higher average IQ as well as a wider distribution) but also to leave it unstated

It goes along with every observation we have as well - men have larger brains and larger brains per body weight https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289604000492?via%3Dihub …pic.twitter.com/dcFdltNkln

To be fair to the other side - there's massive discrimination in university admissions in favor of women so you're going to see men outscore women in every population that's drawn from university students
