Sex differences in spatial ability may be related to different problem-solving methods. Two spatial tests, Choosing A Path and Witkin's Rod and Frame Test, and related strategy questionnaires were given to 50 male and 50 female adults. Multivariate analyses of variance on the strategy questionnaires were significant. Women were more likely to use concrete and unorganized methods and to give up or skip problems. Spearman correlations between the males' and females' rank orders of strategies were high and significant, so that both similarities and differences between the sexes were demonstrated.
空间能力的性别差异可能与不同的问题解决方法有关。对50名成年男性和50名成年女性进行了两项空间测试，即“选择路径”和威特金的棒框测试，并发放了相关的策略问卷。对策略问卷进行的多变量方差分析具有显著性。女性更倾向于使用具体且无组织的方法，并且更有可能放弃或跳过问题。男性和女性策略排序之间的斯皮尔曼相关性很高且具有显著性，因此展示了两性之间的异同。
