Previous research has indicated that analytical ability is a masculine characteristic, in that males score higher than females on such measures and, within sex groups, those who are classified as more masculine on measures of sex typing tend to have greater analytical ability. The present study focuses primarily on field independence as one aspect of analytical ability and was designed to test within one sample some of the relationships found in prior research in which diverse samples and measures were used. Although some of the data confirm earlier findings, especially within sex groups, the most intriguing result is that females in this sample were more field-independent than the males. Serious questions about both the measures used and the nature of the sample can be raised, making any generalization unwise, but the finding is unprecedented in published research
