2.c.4) Woman and man intelligence  

At this point, I wanted to embark on a delicate subject, that of the possible sexual differentiation in intelligence between woman and man. I would say that there is a general consensus that great differences exist between female and male sensitivity. Consequently, the groups of basic relational functions that support these sensitivities should be somewhat different.

From there, if a determined test of intelligence is used that collects, to a great extent, the feminine sensitivity of men and women, we would have to wait for women to obtain better results and vice versa.

A curious act is that, to some extent, all of us memorize a representation of others where, on top of their image, we include some characteristics, needless to say, from our point of view. Among them is an intuitive estimation of that person's intelligence.

As this approximation is carried out on a personal scale, it should not be surprising that many women are completely convinced that they are much more intelligent than men, and vice versa. In fact, all men and all women are right from their point of view or scale of reference.

An example of how complicated the subject of sexual differentiation in intelligence between woman and man is would be to speak about the beauty of intelligence and the intelligence of beauty. In a certain respect, both affirmations are correct and, therefore, elemental relational functions that support them should exist. In relation to this subject, without wanting to go any deeper in it, we can cite the existence of certain symmetries.

Another example could be the different results that come out of complicated mathematical calculations if we are working with variables rounded to whole numbers or with decimals. Sometimes one way is better and other times, the other way; but, if the program is very complicated, perhaps both should not, or would not be efficient if maintained simultaneously.

In the calculations used (that were complicated due to their quantity) in the demonstration of the heritability of intelligence, the variables are ordered with different criteria, and the results may sensitively vary depending on the criterion of organization prior to the last variable used.

If the absolute scale cannot be discovered, a good solution is to use a neutral scale in respect to gender for pure convention. This is what some of the most important tests of today do as far different batteries of forms or questions are concerned; through adequate ponderation they achive that the overall evaluation of the tests to be neutral.

In some cases, the values are corrected with a different scale according to gender; the TC1 test is an example that is based on a series of dominoes.

In other cases, the results are corrected according to age. For ages above 30, the result is compensated considering that there is a fall in performance although not in potential.

In short, it deals with obtaining equality by age in a conventional fashion. It could also go the other way, that is to say, theoretical inequality. For example, the youngest may be more intelligent due to evolutionary reasons; the statistical work in the annex obtains better adjustments in the studied correlations for an "average" 10% improvement in each generation
