Gender, "g", and Fixed versus Growth Intelligence Mindsets as Predictors of Self-Estimated Domain Masculine Intelligence (DMIQ)
Storek, Josephine; Furnham, Adrian
Learning and Individual Differences, v25 p93-98 Jun 2013
Over 120 participants completed three timed intelligence tests, a self-estimated Domain Masculine (DMIQ) Intelligence scale, and a mindset "beliefs about intelligence" measure (Dweck, 2012) to examine correlates of the Hubris-Humility Effect (HHE) which shows males believe they are more intelligent than females. As predicted males gave higher DMIQ estimates than females. Males also scored higher than females on two of the three intelligence tests. Mindset beliefs (entity vs incremental theories) were not significantly related to gender or DMIQ scores. DMIQ estimates were only weakly related to two of the three intelligence tests. Gender and general intelligence test scores (Wonderlic Personnel Test, Inc., 1992) were the best predictors of DMIQ. Limitations are discussed. (Contains 6 tables and 1 figure.)
