Men Think They’re Smarter Than They Really Are . . . Women Are More Realistic

Ever since people realized women actually had brains and might even be able to use them . . . you know, the 1960s . . . there’s been a great debate about which gender is smarter.

Well, according to a new study, men aren’t necessarily smarter than women . . . but they sure think they are.

Researchers at Washington State University had men and women take a math test, then asked them how they thought they did.

And men were far more likely to overestimate their grades . . . women were actually very realistic in their predictions.

The researchers say it could be one of the reasons why more men go into math and science . . . they have the confidence and ego that makes them think they can take it on.
