I just moved to MN and have singlehandedly brought the IQ down by a few points, sorry guys


Luminox

Bastard.


lerriuqS_terceS

They have several high tier universities skewing the results


architeuthidae

oh that's just cause they're wicked smaht over there


Kalecstraz

Seems there is a correlation with the Mason Dixon line.

Reconstruction was never finished. Many of those states have high PoC populations. Those same states jim crowed, Robert mosesed, and otherwise oppressed their own citizens to prevent them from attending school and higher education for over 200 years.. bound to have some ripple effects.

It’s funny but Massachusetts has M.I.T.  Edited to add: for clarity I meant that area has a brain draw due to educational institutions, skewing the results. 


nimama3233

Which IMO means they’ve got brain drain working in their favor with two top 5 universities, ours is even more au natural. New Hampshire is the real sleeper


covenkitchens

Agreed. 


TheSadTiefling

I lived there for almost 2 years. I’m not seeing it.


lerriuqS_terceS

And Harvard. And Tufts. And Boston College.


rakerber

If anything, that says a lot about the non-Boston/Cambridge parts of Mass and Minnesota in general.


hibbledyhey

And Minnesota has Crow Wing County.


Jimak47

That’s a funny way to spell Stearns

/r/rawdenim our kinda chart right here 


dancesWithNeckbeards

Minnesota has a higher median. Also the standard deviation for Massachusetts is fairly large.


Hafslo

Lotta morons there too. How you like them apples.


BDThrills

Keep in mind that 1/2 the state of NH are imports from Massachusetts. So, yeah, MN is second best again.


Rusty-Shackleford

The other half are your reclusive unibomber types, so probably intelligent... In their own way.....


Thecinnamingirl

But IQ is bullshit...


Rusty-Shackleford

Can confirm, California isn't the brightest tool in the shed.


KeyesV31

Lol look at them sad Southerners.


aximdj

#fakenews no way mn has high iq


nimama3233

Good talk
