Isn't it interesting how these "necessary" cultural literacies are male-identified?
(I still don't know how football works. I don't care about sports at all, though I do enjoy the Olympics. Who freaking cares? I have many other interests and can talk about other things. If you exclude me from employment/promotion consideration based on that--if that is seriously a problem--then that's pathetic.)

I absolutely despise sporting events and it definitely hurt me in my career. This has nothing to do with male/female.

The more important question is how you feel about Boba Fett; which Doctor Who/Star Trek character he reminds you of the most, and why. Everyone who matters has considered this, and this is why I trot it right out when sports comes up. Actually, that's not true. I just stubbornly ask obnoxiously stupid and ignorant questions that suck all of the joy from the discussion of last night's game, or the speculation about next weekend's big match-ups. What? They're just questions. They demonstrate my eagerness to learn about what matters to others... heheheh...  Subversive IS my middle name, yes.

My understanding is that there is some regression to the mean until about 10 years old. However, after about 10 the range is typically stable. I have heard of children scoring in the 150's on a WPPSI at 5 and then being tested again at 10 and scoring high 120's low 130's. Primarily because verbal skills were way above average for their ago but then other children caught up, at least in terms of what is measured on an IQ test.

I imagine that as a relative measure comparing an individual to other people their own age, they'd have to go down just a bit over time as the stupidest ones die off. You'd all be regressing towards the mean until the very end.
(In case it isn't obvious, that was intended to be humorous.)

Are you trying to imply that your disregard for sports is somehow related to your gender? I'm a male who couldn't care less about any of the major sports. I have less than zero interest in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc. I find them all to be pointless wastes of time and don't understand in the slightest how someone becomes a fan of a sports team with which they have no tangible connection. (I do understand being a fan of individuals with great skill or a positive attitude.)
