| - | '''Sex and intelligence''' research investigates differences in the distributions of cognitive skills between men and women. This research employs experimental tests of cognitive ability, which take a variety of forms, including written tests like the [[SAT]]. Research focuses on differences in individual skills as well as overall differences in [[general intelligence factor|general cognitive ability]], which is often called ''g''. [[Intelligence quotient|IQ tests]], specially designed to measure cognitive ability, usually test a variety of skills, and IQ scores are often used as a measure of ''g''. | + | The study of the '''heritability of IQ''' is a field of research that includes [[biology]], [[genomics]], [[psychology]], [[philosophy]], [[sociology]], and [[anthropology]]. |

| - | In the nineteenth century, whether men and women had equal intelligence was seen by many as a prerequisite for the granting of [[suffrage]]. [[Leta Hollingworth]] argues that women were not permitted to realize their full [[potential]], as they were confined to the roles of child-rearing and [[housekeeping]]. From the late twentieth century onwards, sex differences in intelligence have been discussed to determine whether disproportionate employment or payment favoring men is a manifestation of [[sexism]] or simply a reflection of [[innate]] aptitudes.<ref>Fausto-Sterling, Anne (1992).
