Tx for your feedback..my comments mean that..each gender, whether he or
she is having a unique pyschology of understanding of the same content. It
will also depend on the different intelligencia of the person..Prof.
Howard Gardner has proposed eight criteria for an intelligence..
Potential isolation by brain damage, the existence of prodigies, savants
and other exceptional individuals, an set of operations, a distinctive
developmental history within an individual, an evolutionary history and
plausibility, support from tests in experimental psychology, support from
psychometry and susceptibility to encoding in a symbol system..
