Abstract
The correlation between the percentage of doctorates in a field obtained by males and the mean Verbal plus Quantitative plus Analytical Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score for that field was 0.76, d.f.=44, P<0.001. It was inferred that men tend to earn doctorates in more demanding fields. It was also maintained that the findings are very consistent with the previous literature showing males having higher means on a number of different cognitive and aptitude measures, including GRE Verbal and Quantitative and Analytical scores.
