Pinch Paxton Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I voted male, because all of the UK Televised IQ tests showed that males were smarter. They have won every time so far. I also once read that women cannot judge distance as well as men. Pincho.

-Demosthenes- Posted February 16, 2004 Author Posted February 16, 2004 Judge distance as well? Does that have to do with Intelligence? I think it has to do with eyesight, right?
Pinch Paxton Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Not really, it was to do with driving, and it was to do with women not being able to judge the width of the car, the parts that they could not see. Pincho.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 But eysight determines if someone can judge distance, right? There are three ways to judge distance and depth: 1) How fast the the image moves across the retina when your eyes move accross the object. 2) Your brain using triagnulation by comparing the two images from each eye. 3) size: if your brain knows what size it is it can tell how far away it is by how large it apears. These are the factors I believe, I don't think it has much to do with intelligence at all.
Glider Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 He's talking about visuo-spacial ability; the ability to abstract three dimentional objects and mentally rotate them in a way that remains applicable to reality. Males have a small but significant advantage in that ability.
Pinch Paxton Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Well I was talking about that, but it had a different name, similar, but I can't remember it. Pincho.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Okay, I thought he was talking about depth perception. I've read that tests have proved that men's spatial abilities are slightly better on average.
mooeypoo Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Waaaaait a minute... so I'm a left-handed woman. I'm supposed to be Einstein if I got the summary of what you're all saying right... Thankyou!
fafalone Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 If the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, only left handed people are in their right minds. I'm left handed too
YT2095 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 so what would being ambidexterous mean then? LOL and yes I am both handed (or neither handed depending how you look at it)
Ms. DNA Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Like mooey, I'm also a left-handed woman. Maybe we can take over the world. But there are some things I do with my right hand, such as use my computer mouse or crochet. I've never liked the term "ambidexterous," though, because what would I do with two right hands? I prefer to think of myself as "equimanual," or equal-handed.
YT2095 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 hey! I like the sound of that permission to use it next time I want to say Ambidexterous? "Im Equimanual thank you" I`m not that long worg that takes ages to type" LOL
mooeypoo Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Ms. DNA -- SHHHH!!!! Now we have to kill them.. Oh well.. where's my left-handed knife? ~moo
-Demosthenes- Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 Frick! I knew this site would get me killed! (Although, I always thought it would be Sayonara in a fit of rage)
Ms. DNA Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Well, I do need to brush up on my martial arts skills....
-Demosthenes- Posted March 9, 2004 Author Posted March 9, 2004 That's like 5 people who want to kill me now.... Why?
YT2095 Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 "Kill" is a bit strong, I`de settle for a severe limp
-Demosthenes- Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 Should I add a number 6 to the lost or should I make a new one?
-Demosthenes- Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah, that's right. I don't even remember what we were talking about... oh yeah that left handed women are smarter, and they want to kill me.
