Why do you think is the objective reason women fail this task? Concept of gravity is non existent in female brain?

Women are generally smart enough to do this but they literally don’t care at all to the point that not even an iota of consciousness is dedicated to actually solving the problem. Basically they prefer to just put something random down and then let other people tell them if they did it wrong than actually bother solving the problem. This is a purely cultural thing imo
>>
>>16389565
Then why college students and toddler women identically fail this task, unlike their male counterparts?
>>
>>16389565
Btw this may be because they know on an intuitive level that it gratifies the man to correct them and explain the answer, especially if that man is the one presenting the problem to them. Being perceived as intelligent doesn’t matter to them so they probably don’t even read the problem and just play along with the man’s self gratification game
>>
>>16389567
? That doesn’t contradict what I said
>>16389569
This actually allows us to empirically test my hypothesis. Have another woman present the problem to them instead of a male. Then I guarantee they will be able to do it, especially if the woman presenting the problem acts as if she doesn’t know the answer because this will give the subject an opportunity to mother the other woman

The test itself is a red herring. What they are really looking for is the superior intelligence of the people who ask "Is the water liquid or frozen?"
t. Was given this test, I asked that question, and now I am employed by the CIA to overthrow foreign governments while interns suck my dick under the desk.. Shit is so cash.

acording to what I read, males had to develop bigger spatial thinking skills, simply because they needed them to actually proper hunt animals in the forest.

Looks like it should be a little bit higher on the right one. Being on the same level the area of the water triangle is base times height times 1/2 where the base is less than twice the base on the left one making the area smaller than just base times height.

Thanks, seems there is a limited training effect, although architecture might naturally select for women with more competent brains

If there is no performance bias seen in 5th graders but there is in 12th graders that would imply pubertal brain development is the major determinant

But there are differences before puberty, and we know that puberty hits girls earlier

The water level doesn't matter for the test, it just checks that the water line is horizontal

>>16389460
Women cannot abstract and they cannot read back abstract information, like a figure of a glass with water in it.

why would the distance from P to S which I guess is the center if the base be constant?
>>
>>16391347
This
>>
>>16393002
it's only "constant" in the condition where the water level is high enough, and the angle of tilt is low enough.
just look at the image, if the distance from P to S changes, the total volume of water changes.

It's the opposite, they overthink everything and are distracted by their own social awareness. "Why are they having me do this test?" "What is the trick?" "It can't be that obvious" "What did they mean by rotate" "I better try hard" *pulls out the ruler* *treats it like a drawing exercise*

How can you tell at a glance if the water line is above or below the other edge?

Also, it's filled with piss.

>>16393066
This. They think it has to be a trick question to make them seem stupid, because that is the only reason they'd ask someone else to do the test.

I don't think your matrix P is correct. What's your origin?
>>
>>16389460
Women don't fundamentally understand nature and aren't fundamentally driven to gain mastery of the world through direct means like men. If there's no cookie cutter path with social proof involved like a master's degree, women aren't interested. Women can't grasp child-like concepts because they have no innate curiosity that extends beyond fulfilling their immediate needs and desires. They get this question wrong because they have literally never thought about how gravity works because they have no reason to think about it and don't care at all about intangible things like knowledge unless it benefits them directly in some obvious way.

Men often have this delusion that "they're just like us!" because they're half of the human race and because pussy feel good, but the reality is that we do everything--build, create, invent, explore, conquer--and women, deep down, believe that we exist merely to serve them and nothing else.

Women do not follow instructions. They read the text and most understand it but then the information from the text never makes it to the part of their brain that controls their actions so they default to automatically trying to continue the pattern.
>>
This makes me curious. Are there cognitive tests men fail in a disproportional amount?
>>
>>16396858
According to some studies women seem to be generally better at remembering faces as well as recognizing emotions from facial expressions. Idk if you would exactly count that as a cognitive task, however.

What temperature is the water?

>>16389460
For what the hell should you know where the line could be? Sure you need an equal area with upper border limits by a parallel to the low line. But there are no measures given, neither the angle of B. So you need the typical academic social knowledge what the fuck the idiot made that test want.
>>
>>16396866
That's probably just higher prevalence of autism bringing the guys down, unless you specifically controlled for that.

But I guess that's kind of circular reasoning: maybe men are more likely to be diagnosed as autistic because they're worse at recognizing faces.

Studies that analyzed this showed that women who answered this made different assumptions than men. Men assumed static case after equilibrium. Women assumed dynamic case before equilibrium is reached. Unclear why.

Go to your kitchen right now and fill two cups up with equal water. And tilt one. The water level will rise in one. Don't believe me? Try it.
>>
>>16397559
Are you stupid? Static means nothing is moving. Dynamic means the water is currently moving.

no retard
the triangle of empty space left of P' corresponds exactly with the triangle of water right of P', so unless the water surface is hitting the bottom left corner it is valid for large angles too
dunno why you drew some sin cos bullshit though when a geometric proof suffices

>>
>>16389460
my mother didn't fail this test, but she was a computer programmer and has a very logical mind. i think most women fail this test because they don't conceptualize the world in objective, external terms, so when presented with a problem like this (and really any problem) they internally envision themselves tipping the glass, and what happens when you tip a glass with water in it? the water pours out.
>>
>>16391347
It's not true that "women" fail this task, but they do fail it at a higher rate than men. Around 2/5 of female, and 1/5 of male college students provided an unintended answer in a study. It's Piaget's water level task.
>>
>>16397830
Based common sense anon
>>
>>16397679
That's obvious (i hope) but you cannot "draw a lein to show where the level should be" because you cannot know where to draw (except above the A level but that is not where)

this must be bait. it is too complicated. there is a much simple way with triangles.
>>
>>16389460
Here is a question: as you start tilting the right glass, the level in the tilted glass will be initially higher than in the left glas. But as you keep tilting it it will keep going down. Find the angle where the level is the same in both glasses.
>>
>>16397830
