A 2001 report by Richard J. Coley of the ETS found that females often outperformed males on various measures of mathematical and spatial ability, whiles males tended to outperform females on measures of mathematical and spatial ability [1]. This could be because of many factors such as gender stereotypes with intelligence and the size of the brain. It has been studied that many women have been weaned away from a career in the science and mathematical fields due to the fact that these fields are complicated and that men are better at understanding those concepts better than women [46]. Society has made it alright for men to only pursue science fields and for women to pursue verbal and spatial fields.

Brain size has also been accounted for the difference in aptidues among the sexes. Studies have shown that the male brain is larger in mass in grey matter, which represents areas of intelligence [1]. Tests have shown that men score higher on IQ tests and that womeon score higher than men on memory tests. The difference between IQ in men and women has been reported as a 3 to 4 point difference [1].
