IQ tests for women

I read something the other day about IQ tests which puzzled me. Apparently the feminista and multi cultural mob are complaining that IQ tests are bias towards giving good results, or better results for middle age Anglo Saxon males.
Of course the Internet has opened up many things to people of all nations. After pornography and shopping the next most popular regular use of the internet is genealogy and apparently at some stage everyone has a go at one of the multitude of sites offering all types of on-line tests.
These seem to include personality tests, relationship tests, aptitude tests, career tests and IQ tests.
IQ tests measure intelligence which is of course quite a wide, all encompassing term while at the same time being sufficiently vague to be open to interpretation. My own understanding of what is measured by these tests is logic, analytical reasoning, spacial awareness, some general knowledge and a spattering of common sense.
Apparently women taking these tests (and interestingly black people) get on average results which are lower than those of men of similar ages and backgrounds. Therefore to demonstrate their logical reasoning some women conclude that the tests must be flawed in some way and bias towards giving better results for men. There can be no other answer.
I had a look at some of these tests on-line, many seem to be so trite as to be ridiculous, many seem pre-destined to give you a genius score if you just pay $X towards getting a certificate but some of them seem to be reasonable tests with no apparent ulterior motive. I was quite happy with my score actually although there was a variation of 2-3% on some of the results. The ones I did the poorest at were the ones that had diagrams and pictures and you had to predict the next diagram or pattern in a sequence, don't know why but I'm just not very good at these for some reason, however it would be quite narcissistic of me to deride these tests because I didn't do so well at them. When completing the 12 tests I took I was careful to look out for any apparent "gender bias." Obviously if a test had questions on football or fishing or cars this could be construed as some sort of bias. I didn't notice anything of the sort though. One thing that puzzled me however was that nearly all these tests (and all the American ones)had a question secreted somewhere in the middle asking which sex I was. The question was a bit touchy feely, along the lines of "it would really help us ensure these tests are fair if you tell us which sex you are" but I ticked the box as requested.
I wondered if this was something to do with the gender bias referred to. It did seem a bit blatant though, along the lies of "if you're a woman we'll reduce your mark" and even the most misogynistic of men would have to admit that this was unfair.
I then read, but have yet to actually try this that if you give exactly the same aswers but say you are female your score will be on average 6% higher tha for a make.
Whatever can this mean?

Advertising. It makes me sick. Trivial, meaningless pap. But as a bloke, what pisses me off the most is how men now are portrayed as imbecilic, boring, unimaginative, ineffectual bufoons. In every advert on british telly at least. Women of course have "lifestyles" - having to run a household, raise the kids, decide the future of the world, insure the car and clean the khazi around their hectic life of socialising with their peer groups, visits to the gym and the recycling bank whilst still maintaining a career at the top of their chosen field (which is usually something like corporate insurance where they do "presentations" at every board meeting.) While they are busy doing all of this the man of the house is creating chaos, getting it all wrong and just sits in front of the telly like a neanderthal while his partner rolls her eyes in amused exasperation at his ineptitude, smugly smiling to the camera.

Maybe it's a carry over from the american sitcom movement that seemed to reach us in the nineties, programmes like friends, and err... well all the others that seem to show these sassy women who are "go-getters" and aint gonna live like their moms did. The success and happiness in their lives is measured in terms of how many business suits they own and how many "facebook" type friends they have regardless of the fact that their level of intimacy has all the depth of IKEA veneer.

Of course the old days of advertising were even worse, women then were orgasmic about flash or fairy snow while their husband did the man's stuff. Cleaning the car and mowing the lawn.

In the eighties of course we had the yoof revolution. Don't you miss Ben Elton? Under thirties had both the disposable income and gullibility that all advertising men dream of. Once an actor reached 28 his revenue relied solely on the werthers original agency.

Now these under thirties who had the world at their feet are thirty and forty somethings. They have all the self importance of someone who has had the world idolising them without the hard times along the way that previous generations had that enabled them to have at least one foot in reality.

Advertising of course is total bollocks. Its one of those things like politics where the only people who claim to be able to measure its effectiveness have their own worthless existences so tied to it that to suggest it is a waste of time and money is such heresy it is never even contemplated.

Advertising is, put simply, trying to persuede people that they need something they really don't. Advertisers don't bother with old people because they've learnt along the way. Even adverts ostensibly aimed at old people such as stairlifts and mobility scooters are actually aimed at their guilt ridden offspring who don't want them moving into their homes and so seek to support their elderly parents "independence.".

No, advertisers aim at people who are easily flattered, who love having their ego stroked, who are full of pomposity and self importance, people who are "entitled" and love to be reminded of it. People who guage their success and worth in terms of having all their demands met - on demand.

So men, don't be offended that you are ridiculed, humiliated and ignored by television advertising. Don't be offended, because it merely shows that the advertisers know you have too much sense to be taken in by their drivel.

Women, enjoy your new-found sense of importance-and remember "it's because you're worth it!"
