brainfsck·16 anni fa·discuss"It's no secret that females in Computer Science, both in academia and industry, are scarce... currently sitting at about 12% to 20%."I wonder how much of the gender discrepancy in CS can be objectively attributed to personality differences. Populations who participate in certain logical activities have rare personality traits (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=946249, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=112...) which are far more common in men than women.If this is the case, is it possible that direct attempts to "increase the number of women in CS" are misguided?
