Tests were softened to be more equally distributed between verbal and mathematic

Tests were softened to be more equally distributed between verbal and mathematical in order to reduce the sex difference gap. I am not sure this wasn’t a useful correction.
The average is less meaningful than the narrower distribution of females vs males. The same is true of personalities (nature experiments with men, and maintains stability with women).
The meaningful difference is more a matter of verbal-pictoral-discrete-empirical vs physical-spatial-rotatioal-theoretical.
The meaningful difference is more a matter of the value of masculine (stem) vs feminine (relationship) fields.
The gap increases at the tails where there are literally no revolutionary thinkers among women – we can’t produce a single one despite all our efforts.
The test improvement I ask for is predictive capacity which I observe is a failing in the test system because it is difficult to test.
That’s the TLDR version 😉
