Women are Better at Being Worse

A 2010 study at Hertfordshire University in England has found that women are better at multitasking than men. The study included 50 men and 50 women who were instructed to complete math problems, finding restaurants on a map, and sketching a strategy to search an imaginary field for a lost key.

 

Men were greatly outperformed by women. The study noted that men are supposed to have better spatial awareness than women so they should have done better in the map test and the key test, but even in that category they were beat. However, another article defends that multitasking doesn't work. It brings up several studies which show how "multitasking leads to as much as a 40% drop in productivity, increased stress, and a 10% drop in IQ." It also reveals that driving while distracted is worse than driving drunk. So maybe guys should not be worried that they are not as good at multitasking.
