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.

Apparently YOU can not read. Check it again..slowly..take it all in..

Edit: I guess you are proof of your states own ranking in reading scores. :p

Did he not ask for IQ? Yes or no?

Did I link to something that pertained to this thread, even slightly?

On the left are widely discussed but unverified state IQ averages, which seem to be a hoax. Next to them are ranked, actual Reading and Math (R+M) scores of fourth graders in 2003, a rough IQ measure.

I win, give up.

Uh, no you don't win. If you go by IQ which is WHAT he asked, then what I posted was correct. He asked for IQ and not "test scores" and this is regardless of whether or not those scores are real. He asked for IQ...

Well them show me some IQ scores. No one else is "going by" anything. They are fvcking guessing.

At least mine has some type of information backing it up. I didn't mean to you insult your state.

it says its a hoax....

Only the IQ rank is a hoax. And Mississippi is ranked as the lowest for IQ, which Excelsior didn't say. He's talking about the legitimate Reading + Math scores for the state.

Thank you, but apparently that isn't good enough for Mill.

Well, if you would READ, it says "Next to them are ranked, actual Reading and Math (R+M) scores of fourth graders in 2003, a rough IQ measure. " So, if you want a REAL ranking of IQ scores, albeit rough, then using the REAL data is the most accurate IQ ranking, not the hoax scores.

WHOA! Did anyone else notice this:

And average IQ for African-Americans consistently tests at 85, while that for Latinos is around 92. Schooling does not improve IQ, which remains fairly constant during one's life, after it can be reliably measured at age five.

Did they just say African Americans and Latinos have lower IQ's, for which schooling/lack of isn't to blame?

edit: whoa, this linked page sure opens a can of worms.....
from the first link

There, that is based on SAT / ACT scores. however again the IQ's are estimated. Keep in mind that in South Carolina SAT's must be taken by all students. IN other states they aren't mandatory so the stupid kids don't have to take the tests and fail. Skews the facts a little.

That must be why the chart shows only 23% of HS graduates in SC taking the test ...

There's no skew there, and I have first hand experience..

Sorry, but random reading and math scores are not an IQ score.

I used to live in Alabama, but now I live in MA.

From one of the 'worst' states to the one of the 'best'...

Moving on up!

Having lived in TX, CA, MA, AL, and TN, I'm going to have to agree with you. :)

Thank you Mississippi. If it wasn't for you, then Alabama would be last in everything! :D ;)
