In 2002, Templer & Tomeo correlated the percent of males in a field with that field’s mean GRE score and found r = 0.76, a very strong correlation among those typically found in social science (Templer & Tomeo, 2002). As of writing, this finding has been largely ignored, only having been cited 10 times according to Google Scholar.
