Thanks for that. If they are not gender related, why is 3/125 people on my

engineering course female? Women are actively encouraged to go into this

sort of work, but still, few do.

Men normally have better viso-spacial ability, females multitasking lingual

abilities.

I agree with what you say though on the individual basis. Now that these

things aren't necessary for our races survival, more women are shift to

" men " skills and more men are shifting to " women " skills. Which can only be

a good thing.

The gender effects for language skills and visuo-spatial abilities are

reliable in populations only. The majority of variability in these skills is

attributable to individual variations and not gender.

 

In other words, your gender does not determine whether you will be better or

worse in these areas than any other individual (be they male or female).

 

Also, there is no evidence that language skills and logical reasoning /

visuo-spatial ability / or whatever are mutually exclusive. There are many

examples of high performance in both of these categories in many

individuals. Goethe, Lady Ada Lovelace, Coleridge spring to mind, and there

are many more examples.
