#4 And how were the men’s scores who sat next to the revealing outfit test takers?

I got busted sophomore year 'cheating' on a test. I told him I wasn't looking at Kathy's test, I was looking at her boobs. He gives me one of these looks that says 'yeah, right'. I didn't miss a beat - 'low-cut blouse, almost a C cup - come on, man.' He says ' GTFO here'...

#6 Testing conditions are probably incorrect.

I think if you take a bunch of college student volunteers with average bodies, and dress them up in sexy apparel for your test - this would be the result. The brain would be challenged by the social inadequacy being negotiated, and they wont be able to focus on stuff.

Intelligence is one thing, but the general confidence to apply it in a challenging moment comes from prolonged exposure and eventual proficiency in carrying your self.

Have the volunteers work out, get in shape, really fit them in those dresses and then ask them the questions. I'll wager they'll surpass their earlier best scores.

No matter what your stupid study concludes, even as statistic bound shrinks you'll have finally done someone some good.

#7 If the results reflect reality, the reason could be as simple as sexy clothes may be less comfortable than loose ones, and the underlying cause for lack of focus is physical discomfort.

#8 ^We know men think with their head, or their other head. No reason to think it's not the same for females, and - dressing sexy - may throw the switch.

#9 And how were the men’s scores who sat next to the revealing outfit test takers?

Back in the day, one of Mr, Wife’s chemical engineering profs graded on a curve. The first time they had an exam his study partner, who enjoys a decidedly feminine figure, sat down next to him and unbuttoned a few extra buttons to help reshape the results more in her favour. (Engineers — every action has logic behind it.) As the tests were being handed out, my darling lad leaned over and buttoned her up to her chin.

Whether this actually improved the results of the rest of the class, I have no idea.

#13 ^ Exactly my point. The sniper got it in at a thousand yards with a single line.
