The study you are looking for - that collects IQ scores from thousands of students - what would that add that isn't already covered? If such a study were to reveal gender differences in IQ, then shouldn't we also see them in all studies that include gender and IQ measures? | |

| May 20, 2015 at 9:51 | comment | added | Eoin | My question wasn't about gender differences in $g$ in the population - I've a little bit of familiarity with that literature, enough to know that I don't want to know any more about it - but about possible selection biases which lead to gender differences within this extremely well studied population. The thesis you refer to at the end touches on the topic, but I haven't seen anyone run the analysis that would explicitly answer my question: collate IQ measures from thousands of undergraduates, and compare any gender effects there to any found in the population norming sample for those tests. | |
