>It is difficult to give the precise fraction of men and women that fail the water-level task, since this is sensitive to the methodological details of how the task is presented and scored, but the finding that men perform at a higher level has been robustly confirmed.[8][1] One typical study from 1989 found that 32% of college women failed the test, compared to 15% of college men.[8] A 1995 experiment found that 50% of undergraduate males and 25% of females performed "very well" on the task and 20% of males and 35% of females performed "poorly". Similar sex differences have been confirmed internationally.
