Hand-waving. Thre are known structural differnces in the female and male brains that lead to the *average* female (as though she exists) being less suited to math then the average male (see preceding parethetical). LIkewise, some people have physical problems in their brain that bring about anxiety during tests and other high-stress, high-intellectual-demand periods. Sometmes that problem is associated with ANY testing, and sometimes with only one or two frms of testing. I suspect that math-testing is the most common form, but haven't seen or heard of any research on it. That's different than simple anxiety over test-taking, but the form with definite physiological problems in the brain does exist. ------------------------ Yahoo!
