Do you think men and women have different personalities?

A new study (pdf) finds that on a multi-factor personality inventory, men and women score quite differently.

The Huffington Post has a non-scientific summary if you’re inclined that way. Here’s a summary from that article:

The research, conducted by Marco Del Giudice of Italy’s University of Turin and Irwing and Tom Booth of the UK’s University of Manchester, involved getting 10,000 Americans to take a questionnaire that measured 15 different personality traits. According to their analysis, men are far more dominant, reserved, utilitarian, vigilant, rule-conscious, and emotionally stable, while women are far more deferential, warm, trusting, sensitive, and emotionally “reactive.” The two sexes were roughly the same when it came to perfectionism, liveliness, and abstract versus practical thinking.
