Six reasons why
history may soon
become herstory

ESTS by a highly respected New York-based

research organization have finally, confirmed what
wise men long suspected and wise women kept to
themselves: in just about every area of human ene
deavor except brute strength, the female of the spe~
cies is either equal to or superior to the male.

The nonprofit Johnson O’Connor Research Foun-
dation Inc., which has been conducting aptitude tests
since 1922 and now has 12 facilities scattered across
the U.S,, has narrowed learning ability down to 22
basic aptitudes. Men excel in only two of them —
strength of grip and structural visualization,

Of the remaining 20 aptitudes, 14 can be accom-

“plished equally well by either sex. This group in-

‘cludes such basic abilities as analytical and inductive
reasoning, design and number memory, and general
‘knowledge.

That leaves six learning fields where women per-
form measurably better than men. And to make mat~
fers worse for die-hard male chauvinists, they are all
saptitudes that can be a considerable asset in manage-
ment. The six:
3 @ Graphoria or accounting ability, a definite as-
set in auditing and statistical work,

@ Ideaphoria or the ability to come up with ideas
quickly, verbalize them clearly, and persuade others
to adopt them, The boardroom advantages are obvi-
ous,

@ Silograms or the ability to form associations
between known and unknown words, useful in
earning languages and professional terms.
= @ Observation or skill at discerning small changes
jn detail, i

“; @ Finger dexterity, which speaks for itself,
‘+ @ Abstract visualization or the ability to deal
with abstract concepts. '

Theoretically women should be running the world.
