Men keen to be cleverest

IT should come as no surprise to the women in the room.

Men tend to think they are the cleverest among their peers – whether that is true or not.

In the first study of its kind, researchers at Arizona State University found that men were far more likely than women to rate themselves above others for intelligence, after quizzing 250 students

Even when a male and female are just as bright as each other, the man is likely to say he is cleverer than two-thirds of the class, while the average woman believes she is better than just over half of her classmates.
