Women who occasionally paid attention at math would like to point out that assuming an average IQ (100), that means it drops 15% for men, 10% for women. The OP would be better of reading that as men being 50% worse than women, not 3 times.

If there's any merit to it at all. As you said, [citation needed].



Should we be deriving the percentages from the IQ points that are left?

e.g. 100 IQ becomes 90 for women and 85 for men, so men are 100 -85/90*100 less good than women as a result of multitasking?


That would measure the overall usefulness of men[^1], not the capacity for multitasking, no?

[^1]: Yes, I giggled ;)
