Abstract
Raven’s Progressive Matrices data of high quality from five advanced nations show that females matched males both below and above the age of 14. This counts against hypotheses that genetic factors cause general intelligence differences between the genders. Evidence unfriendly to gender parity at mature ages is based on suspect samples. At ages 15–18, more males than females are school dropouts. At ages 18–24, female deficits among university students may be caused by an IQ/academic achievement gap.
