I wonder if this is what they were referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-level_task
“…the finding that men perform [the water-level task] at a higher level has been robustly confirmed.”
I assume for the college level students it’s who can mark the level of the water most accurately? I certainly hope all of them would at least mark the water line horizontal to the ground
Wikipedia suggests a common failure is to not change the angle of the water surface, leaving it parallel to the base of the tube rather than to gravity
It goes on to say “One typical study from 1989 found that 32% of college women failed the test, compared to 15% of college men.” A third of girls who made it into college couldn’t do it.
