(CNN) By the age of 6, girls already consider boys more likely to show brilliance and more suited to "really, really smart" activities than their own gender, according to a new study. In one test, researchers told the children a story about a person who was "really, really smart." At age 5, both boys and girls picked out characters of their own gender. In another scenario, the children were tasked with an activity that was labeled as being for "really, really smart kids." Portwood was also unsurprised that no difference was seen when the young children were asked about who would achieve the best grades.
