There are many misconceptions about gender differences that have serious ramifications for our society and our gender identity development. This study looked at the gender differences in cognitive, academic, visual-motor and emotional and behavioural functioning among 401 clinic-referred participants who were administered a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment. The data were collected from the SBV, WISC-IV, WAIS-III, WIAT-II, WJ-III, WRAT-3, Beery VMI, Bender-Gestalt II, BAI, BDI-II, BASC and the BASC-2. There were minimal gender differences found in most areas of functioning, which is consistent with the literature in the field that supports the gender similarities hypothesis. When there were gender differences, males tended to have higher performance and relatively better emotional and behavioural functioning than females.
