but then 3 males, 3 women shouldn't really be any different than 2 males and 4 women, etc

And did the study test that?

Morewomen mean less need to compete. When in doubt there are two truths in the world: men want sex and women want to be impressed

they wanted to impress and nail their male colleagues :P. And really, why do gays always want to claim all achievements :lol: .

Not all. But for example the Italian renaissance had an overrepresentation of homos. :P

but the "group intelligence" increased with the greater disparity in women (more) to men (less). at least, i assume based off-

QuoteBut so far, the data show, the more women, the better.

@slargos: i think so, because that's what it seems the conclusion is. maybe not

HVC

The more the better doesnt mean more women then men. Anyway tongues been firmly in cheek since the start of this thread. No idea why groups got smarter.

Yes, this is why women are behind all of recorded history's scientific progress, after all.  :hmm:

I have no doubt that the presence of females will provoke nerds into working harder, in a bid to impress them, but I wouldn't expect the results to be directly proportional to the amount of females, rather the opposite.

You realize that the study was about groups, right? Doesn't that just show that they help with an assist?

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Speaking seriously, women tend to add a significant cooperative/conciliatory element to a group. From my experience, whenever I was in negotiations with only / predominantly men, there has always been a lot of time wasted on dig-waving/posturing/trying to prove who is right and whatnot. When I went to negotiations with a female partner I work with, however, she often managed to turn this into more cooperative excercise, by conceding points that were unnecessary and whatnot.

How does one objectively assess the results of a brainstorming session?  It's possible the results are legit, it's also possible the results were rigged.

Well, from the exercises I participated in, they give you a fixed time limit and a goal ("produce 10 ideas to deal with a problem and present it to the examiner"). The group that is able to prepare a final product is better than a group that just spends the time talking. I noticed women are better in structuring.
