Gender differences do exist, but broad assumptions will roadblock men and women who do not conform to those expectations.
Higher neuroticism for example might mean better troubleshooting. Higher agreeableness better collaboration. Fit the traits to the job.https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/895426390316732416 …

I would like to have seen his thoughts on race and culture impacting "openness, problem-solving neuroticism, agreeability" et.al.
-
Also sexual orientation .I'm sure KKK would have loved more pseudoscientific language to back up their ideas.
-
I like that just as much as I like scientists saying conservatives are wired differently, stronger "disgust" reactions etc.
-
I like that as much as his bosses liked hearing him imply they didn't have the acumen to choose women who could perform well at Google.
-
Or men. Did he really think they can't look at an individual and see what his/her strengths and weaknesses are and if it fits their needs?
-
Do you reckon it's just a bit stupid to imply that your bosses are hiring second rate people just to be PC and expect they won't be annoyed?
-
I think that is the true reason why he was fired. He implied his bosses could not see that an employee would be badly suited for a job -

This isn't the root of the problem, but I think most people misunderstand what is meant by the jargon term neuroticism.

Trait diffs exist but they're slight and the overlaps are massive. Do NOT use sex or race, cheap information. Here, u get what u pay for.

And you can't ignore societal influence on self-assessment. Brainwashed to think I'm inferior/superior at X or Y, may not be!

Misleading. treat all men as if they are natural leaders? Treat all women as if they are brilliant w/ people? treat everyone as individual!

CMU addressed the issue of representation of women and CS with a more parsimonious explanation (and solution). Hint: it wasn't about biologypic.twitter.com/4AD6XKtkiD

I can tell you, many women start my Computer Science degree in the 90's, most dropped out and only the rare few held interest to complete
-
What, from your perspective, happened? Have your read what CMU and HMU have been doing? They've seen increased interest and persistence
-
Great but in the 90's i saw. Pregnancies, lack of interest, lack of attitude. Mind you many men started and dropped out too.
-
Of the women that I subsequently worked with, they were brilliant coders and testers. Let people be people. We arent all the same.
-
We don't have to be the same, no- but there is evidence that women's representation in CS isn't simply due to lack of interest or ability.
