Interesting, if true. I did a Google and every reference I could find
says it's a bell curve. Would you please cite a reference supporting
the straight line hypothesis. I'd like to read it.

"Studies consistently show greater variance in the performance of men
compared to that of women (i.e., men are more represented at the extremes of
performance), and that men and women have statistically significant
differences in average scores on tests of particular abilities"

So there's a greater variance among men. Men on the big-dummy side of the
curve are locked-up, driven out of town, live under a bridge, or get killed
early. The women just putter along.

For women, it IS a bell curve, it's just pretty flat like a very intelligent
woman's boobs.

I recall reading a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Irreproducible
Results years ago that showed a female's IQ could be approximated as a
function of breast and waist measurements. As I recall the formula looked
something like:

IQ = 75 / SQRT [Breast - Waist]

Lab PhD (32/29) = 75 / SQRT (3) = 130
Lab Receptionist (36/22) = 75 / SQRT (14) = 75/3.75 = 20
Pregnant tecnician (34/58) = Imaginary number

The authors concluded more work was needed on the equation.
