I overheard about a study once that showed that when popularity was measured amoung bright boys, average boys, bright girls and average girls - the bright boys came out on top and bright girls were at the bottom. Not sure if that's true, but it fit my experience growing up that the key to popularity in K-12 School was masking my intelligence - to whatever expent I could. I think that many girls don't want to give up social exceptance, hide, and then come to believe their performance.

Sad, but next time I nag you to test all the siblings, know that this issue is in my mind, ok?
