A study published in the online journal Public Library of Science One says sex differences in personality have been greatly underestimated.
Researchers used a new method to compare "multiple trait" personality profiles of 10,000 men and women -- instead of focusing on one trait at a time.
Women scored significantly higher for sensitivity, warmth and apprehension, while men rated higher in emotional stability, dominance and rule-consciousness, leaving each of us something of a stranger to the opposite sex.
