Maps: Important: US IQ (Intelligence) by State: Which are the cleverest and dumbest states…

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[IQ is critically important. I see that the Jewish Communist state of California is #48. The only dumber states are Mississipi and Louisiana, which, correct me if I’m wrong, have a big Black population? I checked and found maps that confirm this. Below, the map in green shows the percentage of Blacks in American states. For the record, don’t be fooled by any excuses over IQ being controversial. No it’s not controversial. It is fully scientific. Only Jews make science or logic “controversial” because they’re busy lying through their teeth and twisting facts out of context. An American friend of mine who studied for his Ph.D in sociology told me that IQ is the best predictor of future performance. Also, be aware, IQ can be tested regardless of language or literacy. Scientists have solved all these problems. So yes, you can test EVERYONE and you can test it ACCURATELY. Don’t listen to the Jewish or Liberal BS. This is proven science. Jan]

Below is the map of IQ of the USA by state.

The average IQ in America is 98, according to IQ tests.

IQ tests can be a controversial measure of intelligence.

Critics point out they often strictly define intelligence, favor test taking skills, and under value creativity and other assets. After all, if you ask a super smart dolphin to answer a multiple choice test it will probably just swim around happily in the ocean.

However, despite controversy IQ remains a popular measure of intelligence. And boy, do Americans care about intelligence. From GPA to standardized tests and degrees, how you use your brains will impact how you make your money.

We found the average IQ in each state to find which states have the most brain power– or are at least really good test takers. Keep reading to see how your state stacks up!

How We Figured This Out

Our data on average IQ comes from the Washington Post.

The researchers primarily looked at factors related to education. In particular, they took into account standardized test scores (including SAT and ACT) and high school and college graduation rates. As all of these factors can be correlated to intelligence, they provided a good rough estimate for large populations.
