Men and women really are *much* more alike psychologically than different but we notice subtle differences more than we notice similarities which we just take for granted.

In your bell curve example, the variable is height. What was the variable in the bell curve chart james damore had in the memo? As i remember it was data free rendering of a chart, not an actual chart.

Yes, I think it was just a symbol of what different distributions actually look like.

Yes, so I'm curious how he proves anything about different distributions between m & f without even showing which variable he's talking about.

Well, its a lot more than just the chart. That (I think) was just to show the difference between how people imagine gender - two distinct lines - and how it actually is - overlapping hugely.

It's NOT a lot more than just the chart. It was not even an actual chart. It was a drawing of a chart. Is it how people do science these days? You just make a claim, draw a mock chart, expect the reader to imagine the rest and accept the conclusion? Something's missing here.

Yes, a lot more. Here it is. Follow links. https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/08/10/the-google-memo-what-does-the-research-say-about-gender-differences/ … The diagram was an illustration of the error in understanding populations. It was a memo on a forum for discussing diversity issues, not a scientific paper (tho it cited several).

Yep, its interest which differs. This has been known for some time. You can see it in schools.
