Same - I've heard of it before and it seems plausible to me, but I don't know enough to confidently say I "believe" in it.

I answered "other" because I don't know about variance, but I'm reasonably confident that even if there is a biological variance, it's not the primary reason that there's a gender imbalance in the sciences.
