Hubris-Humility Effect and Domain-Masculine Intelligence Type in Czech Republic

Abstract

Czech adults completed a self-assessed intelligence measure that yielded a score on domainmasculine intelligence (DMIQ), a composite of mathematical/logical and spatial intelligences. They also completed a sex role inventory. The sex of the participants but not their sex role was related to DMIQ. There was a positive relationship between masculinity and DMIQ, but only for males. Cultural issues in self assessed intelligence and limitations of this study are considered.
