![]() ![]() My work on intelligence and brain size led me to consider the problem that women have smaller brains than men even when allowance is made for their smaller bodies. ![]() I have also published several papers showing that intelligence is associated with brain size and reaction times. In 1989 I proposed that the increases in intelligence have been caused by improvements in nutrition. In 1983 I published a paper in Nature showing that the IQ in Japan had increased over the course of the previous half century, a phenomenon now known as the Flynn Effect following the demonstration by Jim Flynn of secular increases in intelligence in number of countries. In subsequent years the high Oriental IQ has been confirmed in numerous studies of Oriental peoples in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Singapore and the United States. I first published the high IQ of the Oriental peoples in 1977 in a paper on the intelligence of the Japanese. My major discoveries are that the Oriental peoples of East Asia have higher average intelligence by about 5 IQs points than Europeans and peoples of European origin in the United States and elsewhere and that men have a higher average IQ than women by about 5 IQs points. Most of my work has been on intelligence. at the University of Cambridge and have worked as lecturer in psychology at the University of Exeter, professor of psychology at the Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin, and at the University of Ulster. ![]() I graduated in psychology and took my Ph.D. ![]()
