And the Answers are...

1. Husband-wife arguments are usually won by the spouse who does the most talking.

TRUE. Harvard University studies show that, when domestic differences arise, it's usually the spouse who does the most talking who gets his (or her) way.


2. Women are better at solving complicated problems than men.

FALSE. A two-year study conducted at Stanford University demonstrated that, other factors being equal, men are as much as 50 percent more proficient than women in solving complicated problems.


3. Women tend to be more cheerful and optimistic than men.

FALSE. Studies conducted by University of Southern California psychologists show that women are more subject to feeling depressed and "down in the dumps" than men.

4. Men get along on less sleep than women.

TRUE. Authorities find that the average woman requires appreciably more sleep than the average men.

5. When faced with a severe crisis, a woman is more likely to go to pieces than a man.

FALSE. Psychological studies show conclusively that, while emergencies tend to upset a woman more, in a real crisis she is likely to remain calmer than the average male.


6. Men are fussier about their food.

FALSE. Leading university studies show that women are far more finicky about what they eat than men.

7. Men tend to be more self-centered than women.

FALSE. Psychologists have found that women are more self-centered. They have fewer outside interest than men, are more preoccupied with personal concerns and problems.

8. When a couple has mother-in-law trouble, it's usually the wife's mother who is to blame.

FALSE. The American Institute of Family Relations, after careful evaluation of surveys, found: "Contrary to tradition it is not the wife's mother but the husband's mother who is the most frequent troublemaker."


9. Women talk more about men than men talk about women.

TRUE. University of Minnesota investigators found that women discussed men far more often than men discussed women. Women talked about men more often than about any other subject- except other women. Men's conversations were more frequently devoted to business, money, other men- and then women.


10. Wives understand their husbands better than their husbands understand them.

FALSE. Veterans Administration psychologist Richard C. Cowden made an intensive study of married couples, subjected each husband and wife to test designed to reveal their knowledge and understanding of the other's personality. Husbands had far better insight into their wives' character and were able to predict much more accurately how they would react under specific conditions.

11.Women make more fuss about minor and non-existent ailments.

TRUE. We can hear the women's protests: "Hah! You should see my husband when he has a cold!" Nevertheless, in a study of over 5000 men and women, sponsored by the Veteran Administration and Cornell University Medical College, it was found that women had a far greater tendency to exaggerate virtually all types of complaints and ailments.

12. Men are more truthful than women.

FALSE. Psychological tests at De Paul University showed that though women were no less evasive than men, where outright lies were concerned, men led the field.

13. Most husbands are more intelligent than their wives.

TRUE. Studies show that women tend to be attracted to men they can look up to intellectually. Men, on the other hand, tend to shy away from women who have more brains than they do. This doesn't mean that men are superior in general intelligence, but that men tend to "marry down" and women tend to "marry up."

14. Divorced men are better second marriage risks than divorced women.

FALSE. Studies conducted by sociologists at the University of Southern California show that men have much more difficulty in adjusting happily to a second marriage than women. Divorced men tend to become more "set in their ways," less willing to compromise, and to expect their next marriage partners to do most of the adjusting.


15. The widespread masculine belief that women are the most talkative sex actually has no basis in fact.

FALSE. Professor Leona F. Tyler, psychologist at the University of Oregon, evaluating the findings of leading scientific investigators, found the female begins to out-talk the male shortly after infancy. She talks more readily, longer and faster. But it is in verbal fluency, rather than in the grasp of verbal meanings, that females are superior.


16. Women are more easily bored than men.

FALSE. Studies show that men are more restless by temperament than women and much more easily bored by repetitive action. They lack women's capacity to adjust to monotonous conditions. Possibly one reason women are less bored by monotony is that they are more given to introspection and daydreaming.


17. Men have quicker reflexes, react faster than women.

TRUE. Numerous psychological studies on reaction time show that when a man's senses warn him of approaching danger, he reacts much faster than the average woman.


18. Men have a greater capacity for happiness than women.

FALSE. Studies show that women not only have a greater capacity for happiness than men, but also for unhappiness. According to psychologist Lewis M. Terman at Stanford University, "Women experience the extremes of marital happiness and unhappiness more keenly than their husbands."

SCORING:
Give yourself ten points for each question answered correctly.

When this quiz was pre-tested on men and women from all walks of life, nobody got all the answers right, and few answered even half correctly. So if you scored 50% or 60% correct, pat yourself on the back. A score of 70% is outstanding; 80 or 90% is terrific, and if you got 100% - we don't believe you!

[DesertFox]

Well, if I real-quick-go-back-and-"revisit"-my-answers, I got 'em all right!

[Chris]

I got a 67.

[Chap]

I know....you win!

[Suzie]

Nope DF you missed 6, 8 and 13. But that's the best score reported in so far I believe. Me being the math dolt, all of you have to report your score yourselves.
