I've performed an analysis on raw score differences observed on the JCTI according to both the gender and the education of participants. The sample gathered 251 persons of ages 10 to 26 years. 172 were males and 79 were females. On one hand, a first group of 66 adolescents, males, and students in middle or high-school was compared to another of 37 examinees, females and students at the same educational levels. On the other hand a sample gathering 106 males studying in college was compared to 42 female college students.
The average raw score for females was 21.68 (SD=12.34) in the middle school - high school group, and 28.10 (SD=10.76) in the college sample. The mean for the males' raw score was 26.36 (SD=11.53) in adolescents, and 34.40 (SD=10.11) in young adults. It was noticeable that both gender significantly improved their performance with age, with a tendency for a slightly better gain in males than in females. In fact, the males' average was improved by 8 and that of the females' was increased by 6.42. Additionally, it was interesting to note that the standard deviation for the two samples of females was larger by a bit than male counterparts. The graphical illustration of these results is given in the figure below.
