<p>As you know the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test is based on 4 personality dimensions (E/I, S/N, T/F, J/P) each of which can assume two possible values (I think the name is trait) for a total of 16 clusters. <sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator#Cognitive_learning_styles" rel="nofollow">link</a></sup></p>

<p>There are gender differences with regard to a number of psychological variables (see for example <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_roles" rel="nofollow">gender roles</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human_psychology" rel="nofollow">wikipedia Sex differences in human psychology</a>). These differences may be due to education, culture, hormonal difference and so on.</p>

<p>According to the stereotype, many women are more judging than men. </p>

<p>Does any empirical evidence show that the prevalence of Judging is higher in women compared to men?</p>

[link](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator#Cognitive_learning_styles)

There are gender differences with regard to a number of psychological variables (see for example [gender roles](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_roles) and [wikipedia Sex differences in human psychology](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human_psychology)). These differences may be due to education, culture, hormonal difference and so on.

According to the stereotype, many women are more judging than men.

Does any empirical evidence show that the prevalence of Judging is higher in women compared to men?
