Both women and men are capable of performing extraordinary feats, but there are some things the females of our species do better.

Here are 7 of them, according to science.

Number 7. Seeing colors. It comes down to the ability to perceive red, and that is an X-chromosome enabled skill. As women have 2 of them to men's 1, they are better able to distinguish both red's variations and how that hue interacts with the other colors.

Number 6. Stave off narcissistic tendencies. A recent study showed that among the myriad "interpersonal dysfunctions" that make up the narcissistic personality disorder, a number of them are less likely to be exhibited by women. They include entitlement and a deep desire for power.

Number 5. Theoretically, get to Mars. In 2014, NASA Mars study participant Kate Green suggested the agency appoint an all-female crew for the mission to the Red Planet. She reasoned that women require less food and expend fewer calories, making them the more efficient choice.

Number 4. Invest. Based on findings by Barclays Wealth and Ledbury Research, women tend to pull higher profits in the long run, as they are less likely to engage in potentially hazardous financial behaviors – for example, trading too frequently or pursuing risky endeavors.

Scientists have for the first time detected gravitational waves, ripples in space and time hypothesized by Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery announced on Thursday that opens a new window for studying the cosmos.

REUTERS/Caltech/MIT/LIGO Laboratory/Handout via Reuters The flower, Strychnos electri, encased in amber, is shown in this handout photo provided by George Poinar of Oregon State University February 15, 2016. The flower found by Poinar during a trip to a Dominican amber mine in 1986, was named by Lena Struwe of Rutgers University in 2015. Scientists on Monday announced the discovery of the flower that lived some 20 to 30 million years ago inside amber dug out of the side of a mountain in the Dominican Republic. It was a member of a group of flowers that today are the source of the poisons strychnine and curare. According to the researchers, it also likely boasted toxic compounds.

Scientists on January 13 announced the discovery of stone tools at least 118,000 years old , indicating a human presence. The scientists said no fossils of these individuals were found in conjunction with the tools, leaving the toolmakers' identity a mystery. REUTERS/Erick Setiabudi/Handout via Reuters An image of the planet Mercury produced by NASA'S MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging, or MESSENGER probe is seen in an undated picture released April 16, 2015. These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye, but rather the colors enhance the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury's surface, according to NASA. The MESSENGER spacecraft that made surprising discoveries of ice and other materials on Mercury will make a crash landing into the planet around April 30, scientists said on Thursday.

The discovery, announced on Thursday, is the closest scientists have come so far to finding a true Earth twin. The star, known as Kepler-186 and located about 500 light years away in the constellation Cygnus, is smaller and redder than the sun.

The tiny fish, characterized by a disproportionately large head and previously unknown to scientists has been found in mountain rivers of Idaho and Montana in what biologists said on January 30, 2014 marked a rare discovery.

The scientists have captured on film the world's first live images of a giant squid, journeying to the depths of the ocean in search of the mysterious creature thought to have inspired the myth of the "kraken", a tentacled monster.

Arrows mark geological features encountered so far that led to the discovery of what appears to be an ancient Martian streambed. The first site, dubbed Goulburn, is an area where the thrusters from the rover's descent stage blasted away a layer of loose material, exposing bedrock underneath. Goulburn gave scientists a hint that water might have transported the pebbly sandstone material making up the outcrop. The second feature, a naturally exposed rock outcrop named Link, stood out to the science team for its embedded, rounded gravel pieces. The final feature, another naturally exposed rock outcrop named Hottah, offered the most compelling evidence yet of an ancient stream, as it contains abundant rounded pebbles.

Number 3. Multitask. Exhibiting better organization skills while tackling multiple and mounting requests is the primary trait that earned women the best multitasker distinction. According to the authors of a 2013 study, the female participants also worked at a faster pace.

Number 2. Deal with pain. Discovery's MythBusters tested the long-held belief that women have a higher tolerance for pain than their male counterparts by having members of both sexes submerge their hands in icy water. Women were able to endure the agony for a longer amount of time.

Number 1. Score higher on IQ tests. A review of tests taken since they were first introduced over 100 years ago showed women's scores have been rising faster than men's. In fact, they've done so at a pace significant enough to land women in the lead.
