How bad is this cognitive dissonance? They would rather challenge the very concept of IQ -- a valid (and tested) psychometric tool that has been refined over the course of a century -- than accept average racial differences. This is because their entire worldview is dependent on the idea that everything is social and that we can 'fix' problems with money and education.

Let's really think about this for a minute. I once read that the probability of every race evolving the exact same mental traits is comparable to flipping a coin ten times and having it land ON ITS EDGE every time.

Extremely dense.

Nobody is arguing that. The argument is that there are AVERAGE IQ differences between the races. I'm sorry your understanding of statistics is so rudimentary that this is a difficult concept for you.

>On average, males excel relative to females at certain spatial tasks. Specifically, males have an advantage in tests that require the mental rotation or manipulation of an object.[47] They tend to outperform females in mathematical reasoning and navigation. In a computer simulation of a maze task, males completed the task faster and with fewer errors than their female counterparts. Additionally, males have displayed higher accuracy in tests of targeted motor skills, such as guiding projectiles.[46] Males are also faster on reaction time and finger tapping tests.[48]

On average, females excel relative to males on tests that measure recollection. They have an advantage on processing speed involving letters, digits and rapid naming tasks.[48] Females tend to have better object location memory and verbal memory.[49] They also perform better at verbal learning.[50] Females have better performance at matching items and precision tasks, such as placing pegs into designated holes. In maze and path completion tasks, males learn the goal route in fewer trials than females, but females remember more of the landmarks presented. This shows that females use landmarks in everyday situations to orient themselves more than males. Females are better at remembering whether objects had switched places or not

Wow. It's almost like, in the information age, I have the vast majority of mainstream neuroscience studies at my fingertips. OP and others BTFO
