This article presents a study on argumentative abilities related to the solutions given to the Raven's SPM38, and on metalinguistic abilities as measured by a specific test devised for the adult Italian population, the TAM-3 (Pinto, Iliceto, 2007). 200 high school students were tested in Naples and in Rome. Results show that female students outperform their male counterparts either in the argumentative capabilities in the Raven's test and in metalinguistic test, although there are no significant differences in the number of correct solutions in the SPM38. Significant correlations were found between the two tests.
