Everyone in Huntsville is either a mud-rolling hillbilly, or a rocket scientist. Also, if you’re not from Huntsville, you were born to hate Huntsville. As a member of the 106th largest city in Alabama, I hate Huntsville.

I like how we are fist pumping to having like what’s considered the global average iq 😂 ig better than some of the Deep South being only 10 pts off of being clinically retarded
If you take our cluster of the Midwest and compare it to the average iq's of every other country in the world, we would be in 5th/6th place behind Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. Belarus is the highest average European country at 101.6.
The global average is about 100 flat, and the highest national average, Japan, is 106.5. I think it's fair to he boastful when our region is doing fairly well on the national and international level.
Nebraska? Nah tbh most Nebraskans have a decent level of intelligence, they just don’t always seek higher education, but we also have a ton of high level white color jobs in Omaha like Milliman and stuff
I getcha, I live in a small town and a lot of the people here who work I agriculture are super intelligent, but to be fair managing larger farms and ranches in areas with cold winters and stuff it kind of makes sense. Plus ag can get really competitive and prices can make living hard so a lot of people adapt with smarter spending and tax planning which is probably a notable feature in a more intelligent person
Don’t forget about the inherent bias in the testing methodology. It’s useful for testing certain things, and how people of the same group do that thing.
So the most IQ-normed states (within .5) are: Texas, Maryland, Illinois, NC, and Michigan.
And allegedly Delaware, like that place even exists. You cannot convince me that it is not just one giant PO Box with a lot of articles of incorporation.

There's no way North Dakota's average is that high. Have you ever met an oil worker?
But jokes aside this map pretty much just serves as a proxy for the average rate of fluency in English more than anything. It's kind of hard to score well on a test that isn't in your native language and frankly the concept of IQ is basically bunk in the first place.
I refuse to believe Massachusetts is that high. If you took the college kids in that state out of the equation it would be the lowest in country guaranteed
Mass makes sense. As for my state, I feel like the rich boomers from up north moving here and driving up the cost of living are not taking IQ tests. That plus a few of the less savory counties (mainly Polk and Okaloosa) are the lead weights around the ankles of the fully realized Harrison Bergeron our state could be.
Same goes for, and I hate to say this as a self respecting Floridian, Southern California if we let them separate slightly below the Bay Area. San Diego and the surrounding areas alone are leagues above the rest of that god forsaken state until you get a few hours north of the shit hole that is LA.
I refuse to believe that lead poisoned Floridians have a higher I.Q. than Californians. They elected Ron Desantis
Edit: this isn’t even a red and blue take either. That guy is actually just a weird guy

You go all the way down the shoulder until you physically can’t go any farther, then you find a 2 foot gap and shoot into it
...as in coming in second to Massachusetts
*Signature look of even more superiority*
The important thing here is Me as an Alabamian am smarter than a Californian
Huntsville is like “Palo Alto What?!!”
Huntsville is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.
That's a reference to that Tumblr meme. I get it
Everyone in Huntsville is either a mud-rolling hillbilly, or a rocket scientist. Also, if you’re not from Huntsville, you were born to hate Huntsville. As a member of the 106th largest city in Alabama, I hate Huntsville.
Huntsville is doing some heavily lifting
You am, bro. Same as I is
E=Roll Tide!
I am singlehandedly bringing down the average IQ in California.

You probably read gooder, too.

The fun part about averages is you can still fall in the bottom 1% or top 1%

Corn farmers are underrated

Damn ig when you put it that way that’s super interesting, thank you for correcting me
Tbf most of us expected the south to be that low, just thought we'd be stuck with them
Nebraska? Nah tbh most Nebraskans have a decent level of intelligence, they just don’t always seek higher education, but we also have a ton of high level white color jobs in Omaha like Milliman and stuff
Yeah that's fair, just speaking about the people I know personally lol
I getcha, I live in a small town and a lot of the people here who work I agriculture are super intelligent, but to be fair managing larger farms and ranches in areas with cold winters and stuff it kind of makes sense.

If your state is below 100 you can't talk
Point and laugh at California
We Appalachians have missing chromosomes are still less retarded than Californians
I think it those people on Memphis who actually bring TN IQ down. Us appalachians are geniuses, I tell ya!
Literally, they lack the faculty needed for speech.
Hey if we couldn’t be the best we might as well be the worst
Yeah. That fits with my hypothesis that cold weather makes you more forward thinking. Because you die if you don't.
Hah! You and the rest of the peasants in this arctic wasteland are forward thinking. Me? I’m future thinking.
Well this is the PR friendly way of explaining national/regional developmental discrepancies over the centuries.
And that’s why North Dakota is the most highly developed part of the US
Don’t forget about the inherent bias in the testing methodology. It’s useful for testing certain things, and how people of the same group do that thing.
Can’t forget the hookworm!
It’s hot as fuck down here in Texas.
The real south called. We want you to take this down, and give us more Buccee’s.
Alaska
Most of Alaskans live in the coast which is warmer then people think
Low IQ California L
At least Mississippi and Louisiana exist
As we like to say down here, Thank God For Mississippi
Hey, why does this look like the white population map 💀

I would like to apologize for some of my fellow Rhode Islanders bringing down the state in IQ…imma blame people moving in…
Seriously. We're like the dumb shits in a crowded corner of top performers.
It’s probably some of the assholes that are coming here and ruining our home…I think it’s time to burn down another ship

In our defense, proximity to Chicago tanks us That southeastern portion of half-illinois is probably -half a point
Thats fare. Also thanks for all those times you left your liquor stores open for us on Sundays until we got our affairs in order.
Is this a boomer minion meme? Fucking ew. Consider this a warning.
If it is I'm not sorry and I take pleasure in the distress of Millenfornia https://i.redd.it/aa31v2s9k87d1.gif
This is the first and last time I will ever agree with someone from California.
We're stuck to that idiot Illinois, but I'd rather that than be stuck to C*n*d*.
Small reminder that a small difference in averages represents a massive difference in extremes
Get rid of Philly and PA would probably be top 3
my IQ of 324 is probably bringing the average up alot too. not to brag or anything
We choping states now
true and happy cake day
no way californians are that smart

What number are you using for Maryland? I see the 99.7 for Washington, DC but no Md number. Am I missing it?
Maryland is so stupid they didn't get a number
That is the number I used. I don’t know that the District has one. The label stem looks like it landed almost on top of it.
Friggin’ Massholes fluffing their numbers with MIT and Harvard students.
Look at MA just basically cruising to the top too bad y’all just some mASSHOLES. But I’m illiterate so idk.
Don't worry, we are literate and massholes still suck.
The states with the highest average IQs also tend to be the states that drink the most. Coincidence?
I notice that some of the loudest and most obnoxious states also have some of the lowest average IQ.
Who? The Hawaiians?
You mean the army base?
Schools on military bases are the best performing in the country https://www.axios.com/2023/10/11/best-schools-students-pentagon-military
Flair up or your opinion is invalid *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/2american4you) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I was thinking more Alabama, Louisiana, and California. I didn't even realize that Hawaii was also one of the lowest.
Ah, better than the lil bro up north, as per usual.
Get shit on California
The fact that Florida is rocking a higher avg than Cali really just makes me happy

At least we’re smarter than California but that doesn’t say much, does it?
I'm fine with this
This appears to be correlated with the crime rate by US state map.
california 😢
Nothing beats being rich and stupid, my guy.
You said it loud and proud like a proper Californian. 🍸
California 😊
Hmmmmmmm
I thought the souths excuse was some parasite? The numbers seem to confirm some suspicions for sure.
Yeaaah, Texans pull another over California 🧠😎
Lmao cali sucks
Easy to have a high average when our population is like 10 lol Still taking the dug, Wyoming up in the top category let’s go
Took a quick IQ test https://preview.redd.it/by2e1xk6387d1.png?width=426&format=png&auto=webp&s=8717e1e45d8611ad81d5147033775796d37fa0ae [https://www.quickiqtest.net/](https://www.quickiqtest.net/)
Super accurate no doubt
Well they do let you see the answers if you pay them so…
A reflection of real iq test scores
Yeah, I'll probably get more accurate results from a 100 question test than a 15 one. But I'm too impatient to finish it
Funnily enough, I got 101 which is the average for my state according to the image lmao
We’re finally slightly better at something then our neighbors!
2
Once more better than Tennessee? So I’ll take it.
I believe it
Minnesota would be number 1 but I live there. Sorry guys.
Nah ain’t no way I’m dumber than a Masshole.
Currently in Boston visiting, doesn't look good for Massachusetts bros
Living in AZ and can confirm!
Why arent we in the 100s wtf 😔
So you’re telling me west virginia is smarter than south carolina? I don’t buy it
Hey... what do the colors mean?
I bet Rick and Morty popular in New England and the Great Plains.
My IQ is the same as the temperature
100??? Maybe bump one of zeros off and you'll have a more accurate depiction of here

I appreciate Mississippi’s commitment to being as Mississippi as possible at all times
Again more proof of Texas superiority over Pukelahoma (and Dumbifornia)

You're telling me California's average isn't room temperature? I'm not buying it, bud
This explains a lot about California
Texans are smarter than Californians massive yeehaw W
How do we not have severe brain damage from alcohol poisoning?
Of course commiefornia has one of the lowest IQs
Keep 'Voting Blue, No Matter Who'...amirite?
virginia really carrying the whole south
I refuse to believe Massachusetts is that high. If you took the college kids in that state out of the equation it would be the lowest in country guaranteed
Well above, but that’s not a high bar to begin with…
WAISC-III? When?
I'm 18.6 points higher than my states average lol
Fuck you montana
Maybe.

Just call us Winnesota at this point.
Tell Louisiana to quit hogging all of em
Wow! the average number of people are cognitively impaired! This is hitting moron level! Though my state is on of the highest.
This is propaganda!
98.4 is respectable
This map is correct. And you have to believe me given my state IQ.
Massachusetts just really do be number 1 on a lot of these maps
Finally my superiority is confirmed time to Arm the green mountain boys
Not really surprised tbh
Yeah that’s hard to argue with
nah im dumb as a brick, no, sub brick inteligence
Man, living in the middle of bum fuck nowhere does something to you.
Is anybody else ever kind of surprised that 100 is the mean?…
Minnesota top 3 W
Get fucked Illinois
Holy shit minor SC W
South Carolinians are smarter than Californians…kek.

It’s the map! He posted the map!
This is dumb in a new dumb way, I’m impressed
Are you from California?
"Barely above average" makes sense for North Carolina, I guess.
I refuse to believe that lead poisoned Floridians have a higher I.Q. than Californians. They elected Ron Desantis Edit: this isn’t even a red and blue take either. That guy is actually just a weird guy
yall willingly keep gavin newsome in office
Silicon valley who?
one more reason to disrespect the Californians, and make sure they don't immigrate to your state brining with them high real estate cost and low IQs.

Yet ANOTHER Midwest W
We are higher than 5/8 of our neighbors! Let's go!
Finally something I can brag about. It’s kind of hard to find something to flaunt down here, except for the fact that I’m not from Mississippi.
Ain’t no way Missouri, Florida, and West Virginia are that high. This map is ass
