psychology tests show that women are as intelligent as men, they score equally on intelligence tests. but there is a difference. women have a higher proportion of gray matter, the brain cells responsible for computation. on the other hand, men have a greater amount of white matter, which manages communications among cells.
the gray/white variation also helps to explain why men and women tend to excel at different cognitive tasks. women are usually more skillful verbally. they are better at verbal and language abilities, while men are usually better at tasks that involve spatial skills, like mathematics and physics.
