Average IQ by state

Sounds right. We have a bunch of dumbfricks in this State. Most of them reside in New Orleans and Baton Rouge

It all comes down to demographics.

The average IQ in California is 95.5 and ranks forty-eighth in the nation. California is home to a number of universities, including Stanford University and UC Berkeley, which are renowned for their academic excellence and attract students from all over the world. The high-tech industry is also famous for bringing bright minds to California, as many computer scientists and engineers have moved to the state for careers in this field. But despite the numerous impressive academic institutions the state still has one of the lowest average IQs in the country.

Think how utterly retarded the lower 75% of the state must be. One of the most educated, but still overall one of the collectively dumbest.

If only there was one specific thing, that all three of these states had in common…

I live in Minnesota, and own stores in Wisconsin and Michigan.

None of these places deserve credit for being ranked where they are.

Alabama's average SAT scores seem to be oddly high, at # 20, considering where they are in all other rankings.
Anybody have a guess why?

From the “Introduction” and “Education v Intelligence” sections of the site . . .

Various factors may favor lower IQ, such as education, wealth, nutrition, and public policies. Health is another key factor. Indeed, a recent study showed that the development of the brain during childhood consumes close to 90% of a newborn calorie intake. If this newborn is contaminated by an infectious disease, part of its energy will be directed to fighting the disease, and not to develop the brain. All three states with the lowest IQs in the U.S. – Mississippi, Louisiana, and California – have high levels of infectious disease as well. This suggests that infectious disease could be one of the primary causes of low IQ in these three states.

Why does this sound like a soft-sell vax pitch, lol?

A few people were discussing ACT v SAT scores for southern states as compared to others.

This table from ACT.org lists average ACT scores by state for the graduating classes of 2022.

Notice the percentage of students tested in each state.

Of 100% of students, which 9% is Massachusetts testing, I wonder?

Alabama tests 100% of its students.

COVID stats aren’t the only misleading stats.

Take St Louis and KCMO out of the MO IQ calculation and I bet the average IQ goes from 101 to 105……remove the people who have moved into MO from Kansas and MO average IQ jumps to 107.
