Which state has the lowest average IQ?

Which of the fifty states, would you say, has the lowest average IQ?

 

[DurocShark]

Cali. We have the 909 and 951.

 

[TwiceOver]

I would have thought South Dakota.

Arkansas

 

[Leetman]

Georgia or Alabama for sure

No way. South Dakota, not counting the Indian Reservations has pretty high reading scores when it comes to standarized testing. They also have some science teams place pretty high nationally.

From a strictly academic standpoint, Alabama and Mississippi usually have some of the lowest standarized scores in the nation year in and year out.

i vote maine, closest to canada *puts on flamesuit*

 

[Balt]

Either Mississippi or Louisiana.

I've spent a lot of time in both. Don't draw any conclusions.

Odd. I grew up in South Dakota and must say I didn't meet anyone that was very smart. Then again since there ins't much to do I'm sure someone picked up a book. The rest of us opened up a bottle or did drugs.

[her209]

The thing with IQ is it's independent of education. Any sample should have an average IQ of 100, especially when you take a very large sample such as an entire state.

Here is some data.

The "lowest" is New Mexico, followed by Mississippi, and Alabama.

Wow, apparently you cannot read. New Mexico is 38th and Alabama is 41st. Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, Wyoming, and South Carolina all rank worse than Alabama.

Check it again, it says the IQ ranking is a hoax, but they included Reading and Math data for each state, which isn't a hoax.
