The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university aptitude tests taken by 100,000 students aged 17 and 18 of both sexes.

這位西安大略大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家對(duì)10萬(wàn)名17至18歲的男女學(xué)生進(jìn)行了大學(xué)智力測(cè)試，他在分析測(cè)試結(jié)果后得出了這個(gè)結(jié)論。

A focus on a factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept, verbal reasoning skills and creativity - some of the key ingredients of intelligence - revealed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63 points higher. The average person has an IQ of around 100.

此項(xiàng)測(cè)試著重對(duì)學(xué)生快速理解復(fù)雜概念、語(yǔ)言推理能力和創(chuàng)造力等幾項(xiàng)智力指標(biāo)進(jìn)行了考察。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，男學(xué)生的智商平均高出3.63分。普通人的智商水平在100分左右。

The findings, which held true for all classes and levels of parental education, overturn a 100 year consensus that men and women average the same in general mental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in school exams than boys.

這項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果適用于各類人群和各個(gè)年齡階段，同時(shí)推翻了長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)認(rèn)為"男女智力相當(dāng)"的普遍觀點(diǎn)。此外，這項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果和女孩的考試成績(jī)總比男孩好的事實(shí)相矛盾。

But Prof Rushton, who was born in Bournemouth and obtained his doctorate in social psychology from the London School of Economics, argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.
