Common traits for boys and girls are non-executive and the inability to control himself. The young men, compared with girls at age 16 revealed a higher scoring overall and verbal intelligence. Girls in low and lower middle level of verbal intelligence is recorded in 2 times less, and low and below the average level of nonverbal intelligence - in 2,3 times more often than boys.
