No, boys and girls are equally likely to be math geniuses.

But the researchers found that in many of the countries they compared, there was no gap between girls' and boys' average scores on the tests or between their performance at the elite level.

Girls scored in the top 5% almost as often as boys, the data showed.

The study also undermined the assumption -- infamously espoused by former Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers in 2005 -- that boys are more likely than girls to be math geniuses.

Findings - Daring to Discuss Women’s Potential in Science - NYTimes.com

The Duke researchers report that there are still four boys for every girl at the extreme right tail of the scores for the SAT math test.

But given the gaps’ stability for two decades, the researchers conclude, “Thus, sex differences in abilities in the extreme right tail should not be dismissed as no longer part of the explanation for the dearth of women in math-intensive fields of science.”

Focusing on the second question, studies find more males than females scoring above the 95th or 99th percentile, but this gender gap has significantly narrowed over time in the U.S. and is not found among some ethnic groups and in some nations.

It is also commonly said that boys are overrepresented at both ends of math performance; they are more frequently the best and the worst achievers than girls.

The researchers found there’s more variability in the boys’ math scores; but this variance was not large.

Gender gap persists at highest levels of math and science testing, 30-year study finds

Among these students at the very top of the performance curve, the differences in verbal and mathematical performance have maintained a persistent gender gap over the last 15 years, said Jonathan Wai, a post-doctoral research associate at Duke TIP, and lead author on a paper appearing in the July/August issue of the journal Intelligence.

In fact, consistent with many earlier studies (JSTOR), what this study found was that the ratio of male to female variance in ability was positive and significant, in other words we can expect that there will be more math geniuses and more dullards, among males than among females.
