Professor Goes Out On Limb With Opinion
Stanford psychologist Edward J. Sweeney argues William James was partly right that woman is an unreasoning animal. He reports two years of tests showing men up to 50 percent better at solving complex problems with equal factors, though women excel in verbal abilities. Sweeney says problem solving is only one skill and no general intelligence superiority exists by age. He notes scientific reports often show men ahead in mathematics, mechanics, or visualization.
