Anything under a 100 leads to a failing society, under a 100 is fricking pitiful.

For decades, Californians have made fun of southerners. Come to find out they are just as stupid as they think Southerners are

The percentage of Americans who have taken an IQ test is probably less than 1 percent.

Public schools in Texas administer standardized tests in elementary school that are accepted by Mensa for membership purposes.

That's how I qualified. Cool story bro.

You're too harsh. 95-99 is still average for many European and Asian countries.

80 and below...yeah that's different.

This is objectively incorrect and betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how IQ numbers are set. The scoring is intentionally calibrated for 100 to be the median. Period. Half of the scored population should be above 100 and half should be below. Anytime that starts to get offset, they re-calibrate 100 so that is once again true. If you raptured every person below an IQ of 100, the next time they re-calibrated the test, half of the people who were previously above 100 would now be below 100. That's literally how it works.

Hey everybody, look who doesn't know how IQ tests are calibrated or what a standard distribution is!

I know that south ark people have the lowest IQ levels I have ever been around. I worked at the medical center in El Dorado and I swear all the management except a few nursing directors were completely void of common sense. And administration was worse. Just a bunch of dumb, dumb people. You couldn;t even go to the restroom without someone knocking on the door asking why the door was locked.

Below average but higher than Louisiana?

Nope, that's all correct!
