Ability to more rapidly handle multiple tasks, when they're all mixed together. (For example, voice comms + corp chat + alliance chat + diplo convos + ship fitting or ship flying + drones + dscan). Organizing, prioritizing, using methodical search patterns, keeping calm under pressure. It kind of sounds like females could dominate EVE, if they ever got interested in it.
BBC News: Women 'better at multitasking' than men, study finds
First, they compared 120 women and 120 men in a computer test which involves switching between tasks involving counting and shape-recognition.
Men and women were equal when tasks were tackled one at a time. But when the tasks were mixed up there was a clear difference.
Both women and men slowed down, and made more mistakes, as the switching became more rapid.
But the men were significantly slower - taking 77% longer to respond, whereas women took 69% longer.
"This difference may seem small, but it adds up" over a working day or week, said Dr Stoet.
A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of tasks - locating restaurants on a map, doing simple maths problems, answering a phone call, and deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field.
Completing all these assignments in eight minutes was impossible - so it forced men and women to prioritise, organise their time, and keep calm under pressure.
In the key search task in particular, women displayed a clear performance advantage over men, says co-author Prof Keith Laws, of the University of Hertfordshire.
"You can see from the drawings - women used methodical search patterns, like going round the field in concentric circles. That's a highly productive strategy for finding a lost object.
"Whereas some men didn't even search the whole field in any particular manner, which is just bizarre."

No one can manage drones. Those little bastards do what they want, when they want. The greatest thing CCP eve did was reduce the maximum drone amount to 5. Those beehive Domis were like old ladies with 10+ cats on leashes.

Yeah drones are like herding cats.
And mrs gray looked at this and in her wonderful israeli simplicity said "of course" then went back to decapitating people in skyrim while singing pop songs in the other room.

Yeah, women are better at a lot of things. Emotional intelligence, for example.
Women would still need the drive for violence that makes men such successful serial killers and mosters in order to rule EVE.
I think I remember reading about how extroverts are better at multi-tasking than introverts.
So introverted men are pretty much ******.

Yeah, that's true. 'Multitasking' is a misleading misnomer. It's really switching around between several ongoing tasks, not handling several at the same time. |

really though, it shouldn't come as a surprise women are good at doing more than one thing at the same time.
