       Here's an interesting fact: in the first version of the Stanford-Binet IQ test, women on average did better than men. Since women could not be more intelligent than men, they removed questions women did better on, and replaced them with ones men did better on, until the results came out right. (Hacking, /The Social Construction of What?/, p. 173.)

       For a period of some years, students in my schools were given IQ tests every year (early '70s). We weren't allowed to see the results - different times - but I got a guidance counselor to give me a peek. The scores covered a range of almost 50 points, if I recall correctly. Never cared about IQ since, and I've lost nothing by not caring.
