The average IQ of Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee, and many other states is higher than that of California

According to the left, the Southern states are supposed to be comprised of low-IQ idiots who shove crayons up their noses and have sex with their sisters. With the exception of Mississippi and Louisiana, that isn't really true. At 95.5, California's average intelligence rating ranks as the third-lowest state.

How well does your state fare?

Mapping Average IQ Score By State​

"Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores are a measure used to assess human intelligence through standardized tests. These scores compare a person’s cognitive abilities to the average population, with the average score typically falling around 100.

To see how IQ varies across the United States, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu visualized data from a 2022 report published in the National Library of Medicine (Journal of Intelligence) by Bryan J. Pesta titled Updated IQ and Well-Being Scores for the 50 U.S. States."

The country's brain trust seems to be in fly-over country.

I noticed that too. I also noticed that the farther you get from the southern border, the higher the numbers are.

That should say something.

Unfair on IQ 2.0 ‘s state as she will pull the state average down hugely by herself .

In fairness , states that are predominantly White have an inbuilt advantage . As IQ will doubtless remind us .

Hate to go all racial on ya, but the population of California is dominated by people of Central and South American ancestry, and the native populations there - speaking mainly about the indigenous people - have average IQ's in the 85 range.

The dumber you are, the more likely you are to be a straight-ticket Democrat. The only upside is that a large percentage of them are too stupid to register and vote.

That is true! Most people are surprised to find out that California, the state where Kamala Harris got her education, is actually around the third lowest IQ average in the country! And that the upper Midwest, the flyover Trump country, is actually the largest region of highest IQ states!

Pretty much the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the media would have you think.

Big surprise, huh?

Average IQ is supposed to be 100
Most states seem to be on the 95-105 range

Doesn’t really prove much

Then why is the highest IQ State Massachusetts?
As Liberal as they come

Just the obvious

The public education in all states has seriously declined since WWII

Lib “educators” tell students what to think rather than teaching them how to think

Not really

At that time, many still dropped out after 8th grade
Few went to college

Yes, but they knew how make change in their head and work with their hands

That requires actual thought rather the bullshit notions that kids are cursed with today

Not so well at first

The Greatest Generation struggled with that in the 1970s

But they knew how to read a map and navigate without GPS

At one time, it was. At one time San Francisco was one of the most beautiful cities in the world. At one time, Berkeley was one of the best Universities in the world. At one time Los Angeles was a vibrant well kept city. At one time Compton was Beverly Hills south.

Those days are long over.

Many of those kids who grew up in the 40s still rely on their grandkids to explain computer problems to them.

If you mean high level computer applications very few kids will never master those either
