WHAT is a barometer of human intelligence? Scientifically intelligence can be measured using psychometric tools commonly referred to as an IQ test. Intelligence is closely related to cognitive abilities possessed by individuals. Because  intelligence, used to describe the nature of mind which includes a  number of capabilities, such as the ability to reason, plan, solve  problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas, use language, and  learning.
According to the results of academic research in Britain shows that men are smarter than women. Baroness Susan Greenfield is one of the famous scientist in England. Professor  of neurophysiology at Oxford University is concerned with the fact that  only 10% of the country's professors are women. Then, if there are glass ceilings that keep talented women scientist's career? It  has been decades of laws against sexual-discrimination is made, but why  laboratories in England did not produce many female scientists?
Richard  Lynn, Professor Emeritus of Psychology University of Ulster, UK, as  reported by Dailymail, stated "It is my opinion based on a lifetime of  academic research. That there is an explanation which I know will cause howls of anger feminists. "
In  a new study by the University of Manchester England, published in the  British Journal of Psychology says that the average male IQ five points  higher than women.
Research  conducted Paul Irwing, senior lecturer University of Manchester,  together with his colleague Richard Lynn, who was previously published  scientific papers on the topic, told the Times Higher Educational  Supplement that they have found evidence to support his conclusions.
Review  held British psychology society involves 80 thousand participants who  were asked to undergo an IQ test and 20 thousand students for further  research.
Irwing mentioned that  there was no difference in IQ between women and men up to age 14 years,  but above that age or mature, male IQ five points higher than do women. Not a big difference, but enough has very important implications.
"This  is certainly contrary to the background of a woman who dramatically  beat the men in education and employment achievement," added Irwing.
Statistics
Especially the imbalance between the sexes that demand jobs that require high intelligence. According to Richard, at levels approaching genius (IQ 145), men more than women with a ratio of 8:1. "That statistic, not sexism," he said.
In this context, he said, Professor Greenfield concern that only one of 10 female science professor does not seem that bad. This,  he said, also explains why, at nearly 110-year history of the Nobel  Prize, only two women have ever won the award in the field of physics,  four in chemistry. In fact, no woman had ever won the award in mathematics for the past eight decades.
In recent years, political power, he added, it is unlikely to suppress the manufacture of such statistical reporting. According  to him, is the indisputable fact that at the time of both sexes was 21,  an IQ of men have an average score of five points higher than women. "We  must look to the field of evolutionary psychology to explain why the  male gender has emerged as a more intelligent," he said.
Despite  having views not in line with Richard, Irwing adding he felt obliged to  put "scientific truth" above personal political conflicts. Predicting  the likelihood of the entire population, the results indicate that  there are three men for every woman with an IQ above 130, 5.5 men for  every woman with an IQ above 145.
The study also offers a cool breeze to women who stated that women tend to work harder. Women  with an IQ equal to men achieve "something more" because they are more  diligent and able to adapt to periods of continuous hard work.
Meanwhile,  President of the University of Harvard, Lawrence Summers sparked a  controversial statement at a seminar by saying that one reason men  outperformed women in maths and science (science) is genetic.
Some  seminar participants left the conference after the statement Summers,  who immediately apologized and corrected by saying that the shortage of  academic women in part due to the obligations of women who give more  priority to the children and tend to limit working hours.
