The Solution to Piaget's Water Level Test

"The surface of still water within a sealed bottleis invariently horizontal regardless of the orientation of the bottle."

There's a hoax circulating on the Internet that 40% of college females failed this test.

This is not true.

The fact is that females scored SIGNIFICANTLY better than men on the test.

The researcher tried to blame the males poor performance on them getting bored with the test and wanting to leave.

*Note: The "superior" males usually forget that the volume of the water must remain the same and place the water line too low as in the previous example. A half right answer is still a wrong answer boys.
