Evidence shows that men can drive better than women

Studies have shown differences between men's and women's brains that lead to different levels of humor, ability to learn foreign languages, orientation, and driving.

Men are often better drivers, funnier, and more impulsive

According to The Sun , men often brag about being better drivers than women. Reality proves that this may be true, especially regarding navigation skills. 

According to some studies, men can take direction a little better than women . A group of experts from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA) recently conducted research to see whether this phenomenon is true or not.

They collected data on spatial navigation and movement between humans and 20 other species. The results, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, found that in all species, males were better at finding their way home than females.

Despite the growing number of successful female comedians - from Katherine Ryan to Melissa McCarthy, men still generally have a better sense of humour.

Scientists from Aberystwyth University and the University of North Carolina looked at data from 28 studies of humor levels in about 5,000 people. They wanted to see if the stereotype that men are funnier than women is true or not. The results showed that 63% of men are funnier than women.

Additionally, men are more likely to make bold decisions than women. According to research from the California Institute of Technology, higher testosterone levels may increase impulsivity in men. On average, men have more sex hormones than women.

A group of men were given a dose of testosterone before solving difficult math problems that required thinking before finding the correct answer. The second group that did not inject testosterone was also given the same problem.

The first group was more likely to resolutely defend their initial opinion, leading to giving the correct answer longer than the "slowly but surely" control group. 

Professor Colin Camerer, the lead researcher, believes that increased testosterone weakens the brain's ability to self-check. 'Testosterone inhibits the process of checking the brain's work or increases the intuitive feeling that: I am right' , explains Professor Camerer.

Women read and write better, have better long-term memory, and learn languages ​​faster

It is a clear fact that girls tend to outperform boys in school. At most UK universities, there are usually more female students.

Australian research shows that girls read and write better than boys from age 10 until adulthood. Scientists from Griffith University reached their conclusion after reviewing test scores of 4 million American high school students over nearly 30 years. Some behavioral problems common in boys such as lack of attention may also contribute to the above fact.

There has long been a debate about whether women or men have better memories. Ultimately, science is on women's side. Researchers from Cambridge University (UK) discovered that sisters' brains have the ability to remember information better than their brothers. They performed a number of memory tests on 4,500 men and women aged 48 to 90 years old.

The results showed that women had better memory and made fewer errors in a memory test.

Another long-standing opinion is that women have an easier time mastering foreign languages. Some analyzes note this may actually be true. According to research by Northwestern University, when learning a new language, the language processing area in the brain of female students is more active. On the other hand, male students' brains are more efficient in areas related to visual and auditory functions.
