Educated people are insulated from the very low IQ people to a large extent, ironically making us ignorant of just how dumb the average or below average person is.
until i hit my working life, i was a MAJOR victim of this
gifted education kind of insulated me. i had little chinks in the armor here or there (like going to a high school of bad stock and seeing only 1 kid had a 20+ ACT score, while i had that in 7th grade), but for the most part i had no concept of "average"

Of course that site doesn't exist, because that isn't what was cited in the graph. The webpage is "statisticbrain" not "staticbrain"

You're kidding with that statement, correct?

Which are still fairly useful traits.

Yes it definitely excludes those people with high intelligence who are slow thinkers. Both of them.

You know the IQ test is inherently flawed right?
It still relies on how much education a person has received and was used back in the day by eugenicists to prove their theories about race

Being from VA, every single time one of these maps comes out I want to see the results without the DC metro area, because that always pulls the rest of the state in a positive direction no matter what the issue is.
True. Without DC metro, VA would essentially be indistinguishable from the Carolinas. And Southside by itself would be the Arkansas side of the MS delta

If anyone seriously thinks this based on this map, then their critical thinking is severely lacking.
It's clear that race is the issue here. Is one race inherently born dumber than another? No, absolutely not. Many minorities don't realize it, but by the liberals catering to them, it is actually holding them back.

I'm convinced that the low IQ and crummy education system contributes greatly to many of our local traffic problems.

I wonder how they compute that.
I haven't taken an reported IQ test in 35 years. Back then I barely spoke English and still scored high enough to qualify for any of those majors. Since then I've retaken the test and done better. But the new results aren't available to these researchers.
