Gender stereotypes often accurate, magnitude varies depending on the criterion

I have failed to access the actual paper written (what wonders of open science), so if anybody could elaborate a bit more, what kind of questions were actually given to participants of the survey?<p><i>People tended to underestimate gender differences in areas such as cognitive abilities, occupational distributions, and academic performance (e.g., GPA in different college majors). In contrast, they overestimated differences in personality traits, behaviors, and social attitudes.</i><p>Would a question be something along the line of &quot;Which gender has better grades in STEM?&quot; or &quot;Which gender works more often as a nurse?&quot;. If so the results do not surprise me much, but I would be definitely interested if there are any actual findings from this research.
