LOL North Dakota kicking California's ass

 

[unrealist]

Lots of bad hombres in CA...as Trump used to say

 

[Occam]

Trump must have been in CA the day they determined the number.

 

[shnurgleton]

Confirmation that warm weather and sunshine makes ya dumb

Also, a fine illustration of "thank god for Mississippi"

 

[Dynomutt]

Damn I'm surprised about Florida.

Seeing as IQ already is a normalised score, with 100 being the average, what does 100 represent? The average of the whole US? Or the average of the whole world?

 

[steven85]

Miss South Carolina is so dumb her IQ alone dropped the states average by 2%

[eizarus]

Lol Alabama. Reminds me of South Park's Alabama Man.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Way to be average, Texas.

 

[Xe4]

Yep, that looks like the variations that would be seen in <1 standard deviation. There may be some larger underlying trend with regards to poverty rates, but it is equally likely that it's just random.

 

[massoluk]

Having studied in Iowa, all their farmers in Iowa have master degrees, so I believe it.

 

[Dynomutt]

Why do some of the numbers get higher for the states near Canada?

Interesting the gap between RI and the rest of New England

Have you ever been to RI?

 

[Dishwalla]

lol Californians are fucking stupid.

Hahahaha I'm about to move to Providence with my girlfriend, all I've heard is the donuts are great.

 

[Oriel]

What you doing Cali?

 

[HazySaiyan]

Way to be average, Texas.

Everything's bigger in Texas, except IQ

 

[shnurgleton]

Hahahaha I'm about to move to Providence with my girlfriend, all I've heard is the donuts are great.

Donuts...?

It's all about clams and oysters down in RI my friend.

 

[massoluk]

What you doing Cali?

A reminder that CA gave us President Ronald Reagan and the Governator

 

[steven85]

All those dumb valley girls holding California's true IQ hostage.

 

[Neith]

Why do some of the numbers get higher for the states near Canada?

Because in general there is lower crime and better schools up here is one possibility.

 

[ultratruman]

Yeah I'm excited about chowder. Also coffee milk

 

[Adam_Roman]

I'd like to see more in-depth maps for bigger population states. I feel like NYS could be brought down by the population in NYC.

 

[Rorschach]

We got women, weed, and weather. What more can I say?

 

[Surface of Me]

I knew there was an objective reason of Texas being better than Oklahoma.

 

[Sinfamy]

It almost correlates with areas that have large segments of poverty.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

MA: 104.3

 

[8BitsAtATime]

California deserves it!! All that nonsense about In-N-Out being amazing...pfff they are a bunch of dummies

 

[steven85]

Apart from California's valley girl crisis, I always enjoy seeing the corilation between the less educated areas and the most religious areas.

 

[reelbigtink]

HAH! Take THAT, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Top 5 dumbest state represent

 

[unrealist]

Based on this stat map, seems like states with less whites have lower avg IQ?

This thread about to go south very fast. Let's do crime/religious comparisons instead lol.

Edit: but for the hell of it, yes of course. I'm sure statistically speaking whites overral maybe have a higher IQ than other races due to history/upbringing/opportunities/whatever else you want to use lol.

 

[StrategyFan]

what language is the IQ test given in?

 

[Machina]

Surprise, economic disparity causes mayhem

 

[Surface of Me]

Just glancing at that it isnt true. Compare Texas to literally all the states to the immediate east on both maps.

 

[paradise_circus]

Tbh,that correlates with the iq world map.
I still don't know what the iq real tells about somebody especially after reading a peer reviewed paper where children gained 7 points of iq after saying them that they will get candy after the test.

 

[massoluk]

Based on this stat map, seems like states with less whites have lower avg IQ?

Texas and Nevada disagree

 

[SanguineShark]

How was this tested? By whom? Also, I can't seem to find a proper source for this picture.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Texas, West Virginia, and New York at quick glance don't align with that theory.

 

[steven85]

what language is the IQ test given in?

American

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah I'm excited about chowder. Also coffee milk

I mean...there are a lot of Dunkin Donuts!

They are also known for their hot wieners.

 

[Premium Quality]

The Los Angeles Unified School District has and always will be trash.
I'm surprised that I graduated with very little knowledge I got out of it.

 

[RinsFury]

All of the conclusions one could make and you draw that one. Glancing at the two maps shows this is incorrect.

 

[Xe4]

It also correlates with poverty rate, though neither are statistically significant. Again, these are such small differences it's incredibly difficult to quantify statistically. You can measure anything and use it to support the linking of some two things, just because of random fluctuations.

Just found it interesting, in lots of articles and reports, California always rank bottom in intelligence tests.

Yeah that's my question. This is just some random chart. What's the source here?
