> Abstract: Males score significantly higher in spatial ability than females. Primary and secondary education neglect spatial ability to focus on verbal and numerical skills only. Standardised tests such as the SAT or the WAIS-IV IQ test deliberately neglect or diminish measures of spatial ability to remove sex differences.

And this is why the smarter female students, accustomed to succeeding in school without effort, run into their first college level physics course like a brick wall.
