1. Almost all women have average IQs (90-110), yielding an average of

average of 100. Men's intelligence curve is also pretty much a
straight line but instead of horizontal, it's diagonal.

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"


I'm still looking for the cite of an article that says IQ distribution is
a straight line - for men or women. You answered a question I didn't ask.
