Online education platform Guru 99 says it ranked the top 10 smartest states in the country after analyzing six metrics including average IQ, graduation rates, percentage of the population with low literacy rates, average SAT scores, and percentage of the states that don’t have a high school diploma or GED, and GDP per capita. The findings of this study revealed New Hampshire as the smartest state, scoring an index rating of 56.82 out of 60. Data showed that on average, New Hampshire has the highest IQs across the country with 103.2. The state also has the smallest percentage of the population with low literacy skills at 11.5%, and one of the highest GDP per capita with $74,663. Vermont checked in as the fourth smartest state, scoring an index rating of 54.91. It was revealed that the Green Mountain State has the lowest percentage of its population that doesn’t have a high school diploma or GED at 5.5%, which contributes to its average IQ of 102.2. Additionally, only 12.8% of the population is deemed to have low literacy.

Voodoo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Note the quotes in smartest states. Many of the most clueless cunts I've met had various levels of higher education. Politicians for example. Having a degree does not make someone automatically useful or a leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little less emotional than those New England states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
