Do you think women are born smarter than men and if so why is that?

Different mind sets all together. Women may mature faster in most cases, but I assume they learn at about the same level. Women just *tend* to drift into a certain path and men tend to drift into a certain path as well. I don't have any text book facts so I am not much help, but I am sure that there will be those coming in with extreme opinions. It doesn't matter. People are people to me, and most of them aren't that bright to begin with. I run into smart folks of either gender, and dumb folks of either gender. And I meet brilliant young children of both sexes. However, there will be different views showing up here shortly most likely.
KC ASSASSIN,
YOU MISSED THE 60 MINUTE SPECIAL ABOUT THAT SHIT ABOUT A YEAR AgO. WOMEN ARE NOT BORN SMARTER. IT'S JUST NOWADAYS, WE ARE SEEIN' THE EFFECTS OF THE PRO-FEMINIST ERA, WHERE WOMEN HAVE FILLED THE CLASSES, WHILE MEN ARE ENCOURAgED TO BE ATHLETES OR WHAT NOT AND ARE DISTRACTED. IT AIN'T gOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH THE BIOLOgICAL THANg.

women mature faster true....but only to a certain level.....men contunue to mature most women get stuck in the maturity level of their mid 20#s where as men contune to mature well past that...the final levels of maturity are reached in much older ages if at all or when people are put thru extream situations.
I find it hard to call it anymore, because I've been told that I am clever. But I've also been told that I think like a woman, when I do not think I do that much at all. Then again, as a woman, I'll be more apt to defend my gender against the stigmas I see thrown at it. On another note, I get very impatient with my female friends for doing typically female things.
Intelligence can be rated in many different areas. Do men tend to be more logical? Yes, I believe so. My experience with people has given me this insight, no offense to my fellow females. The reason that I become defensive over one questioning my intelligence is because I have had to deal with it often. You think I'd get used to it. Women tend to be labeled as scatterbrained and impetuous with their decision making process, and they are stereotyped as being more emotional with the major life choices. I will not argue this, because I've seen it done. I've done it a few times myself. I don't want to be a hypocrite, but I end up being one. Working on that.
I consider myself to be clever, (with out wanting to sound *too* humble), but I know that my female mind and hormones will pull me toward irrational avenues now and then. I've said and done things because I was catching wild emotions. I recognized it, stifled it, and bottled it up. It's unnatural to do so, I suppose, but I do not like to see myself reacting that way.
In our society, men are seen as more logical because they're less likely to act on their emotions. This is seen as as a form of intelligence. Cold and calculated seems to equal smart. Me being frantic and making rash decisions that still work out to my benefit make me look lucky, not smart.
I was raised to cry when I am sad, and to "go with my heart". However, I try to see things from the logical perspective. Some may say I would have a near impossible time at that, since I am a female. But men have emotions too, and struggle with them when they make decisions. They're just trained to deal with them later, as women are trained to deal with them at the time they happen. I believe men and women have an equal degree of intelligence; It's the chemicals and the way they were raised that handle the rest. I typed too much, and am taking a break. Sorry for the long read.

It's impossible to say which sex is the smarter, because as crow said before, intelligence is not gender specific - there are a lot of intelligent guys and girls out there, and likewise there's a lot of stupid ones. The problem is that intelligence is considered genetic (you are born intelligent, as opposed to being smart), realising this potential is another story altogether. Also, intelligence means nothing if you can't communicate your ideas or put your brain into action to get the outcomes that you want. Being smart comes from life experience and a lifetime of such experience results in wisdom. I'd rather be wise than intelligent myself. Whats the point of having brains if you don't use them?
Its funny, we had this discussion the other day. We saw the study that said men have hihger IQ's and on avarage are smarter. One of the officers brought up a good point. He said look in all indusries and any job, even the more feminine ones. The best or the person at the top of that area of expertice will more times then not be a man. One of the others said "well look at social inequalities" however women were treated much better then blacks and we looked at some industires and black men were even at the top of them.
There is little correlation between those who reach the pinnacle of industry and those who are intelligent. Look at George Bush - you would assume that to reach such heights, be in possession of so much power and command so much respect (well...) that he would atleast be a little intelligent. Often CEO's and those in power are less intelligent than they are cut-throat, deceptive and manipulative. Men are more likely than women (on average) to be ruthless bastards and do whatever they can to rule, regardless of skin colour. Look at Einstein - he was super-intelligent and yet he knew little about what it took to run a company (a presumption I must admit).
It doesnt matter about corporate value and social standing. Einstein wasnt rich, however look at all he accoplished, how smart he was, and he is still talked about today. So he was on the top of what he did.
You are saying GW bush is unintelegent what is rediculos. He graduated from an Ivy league college, and has a degree in law. I dont know who u would consider intelegent then?? I do agree he is a horrible public speaker and does come off as a simple man.

LOL GW is a retard he got striat C's and I bet he had to pay for them.
Regardless.
Its all individual your neurochemistry is what governes your ability to think and everyones is different two women will have less in common than a brother and a sister.
ps. People with bigger heads typically do better on standardized tests.

It seems that girls at a young age, like from kindergarten through fifth or sixth grade, are academically smarter than boys. But that shifts the other way so that by the end of high school, boys are generally smarter academically than girls. No one can really explain why that is.
But we're all human beings with the ability to think, so it's up to you how smart you are.
