Slightly related:

I've heard that on average men and women are essentially the same in intelligence scores, with men doing better in certain aspects and women in others but it's essentially a wash.

I've also heard that the grouping for women is tighter, i.e. there are more dumb men than women. Now, depending on how you calculate the average that raises as interesting question: does this then mean there are more extra smart men to make the overall average the same? Like, if intelligence was a bullseye women would be grouped in the same ring, while men would be spread out over the wider and tighter rings than the women?
