15. What the hell does a 4-point spread equate to, even if true?
  I mean, I doubt that's even the difference between "Speaking English good." and "Speaking English well.", even if enhanced linguistics were somehow associated with IQ which may be arguable but tenuous in a number of respects. Besides, look at the terrible debilitation that testosterone is responsible for in the average male psyche. Men, almost exclusively, have historically (and men even write the history books, generally) been distracted by chest-thumping and chest-staring. If we have, on average, slightly-higher IQ's than women, on average, does that in someway disprove the fact that men are, in a superlative understatement here, responsible for much more than their fair share of fucking up the world?

  I would be interested in seeing similar studies referencing the interference of ego in cognitive thinking. I think women would likely come out on top on that one. Still, of course, "On top" in either case in somewhat meaningless.
