Average IQ by state

[Patb78]

This thread offers up another opportunity to post the best George Carlin line of all time

Wish he was still around. Would have loved to hear George’s take on Trump.

NC is skewed higher because I live here.

True.

I was going to apologize to everyone in GA for pulling down the state average.

Mean vs median.

I hate many stats/studies that show "average" when median is a better standard.

"The new plant will have an average wage of 54k a year." We are not going to tell you the median is 38k though.

It's a bunch of hogwash. IQ tests from elementary and middle schoolers and certain adults to decide the highest states in the country?
They never tested my wife or my scores. It definitely would have raised the bar.

Only in Mississippi.

I’m sure a coder from Monroe, LA with a masters in engineering from LA Tech is a foremost expert on the [ahem] genetic foundation of intelligence. Com’on. Just cite Douglas Murray and get it over with.

The Black-White Test Score Gap

Charles Murray, maybe?
Setting aside the the racial correlations he was so politically incorrect to note, a great deal of what he wrote about is coming true. We are becoming a society with the technologically maladept at the bottom, the tech and skill proficient at the top with little middle class. AI could be a game changer, admittedly. Interesting times...

Correct and corrected. Your “political correct” addition is bait.

Fixed it for you. Murray was a smart guy with some good points to make, but he undermined everything with his non-scientific race baiting and his willingness to die on the hill of "black people are genetically inferior."

I knew it! I knew Rhode Islanders were dragging us down in New England. Out RI, Out!

It’s the Rhode Island in-breeding.

I have no problem admitting I’m the biggest dumb ass around here. I’ve lived in five different states. I’m sure I was a drag on each one.

Apparently the concept of " setting aside" escapes some.

What do you think Elon's IQ is?

The mad scientist look isn't a good one for the country.

I've been to New Jersey. This graph is a lie.

 

[BlooVooDoo]

In all seriousness....what do yall think Trumps IQ is?

112-116, but I’m basing that on my impression from 30-40 years ago. Currently he’s functionally just north of a pangolin.

About twice his belt size so low normal.

That might put him over 100.

That's a big belt.

What do you think Elon's IQ is?

His history demonstrates that he was smart and willing to devoted everything to the job.

He might also be a poster child for the effects of drugs and a lack of work life balance as he seems to have gone off the rails.
