FYI, the survey was done in England.

In the US, the opposite may be true when in regards to political ideology. More republicans have higher education than democrats :-p

Well I guess that education doesn't do them much good.

That's actually a hoax.

I mean, an average IQ's of 113 and 85?   Below 70 is mental retardation... standard deviation on an Iq test is 15.  If this was true it would mean 15% of Missisipi woud be considered mentally retarded... when it's usually around 2%.

 

The lowest a state averages is about 94...

 

In general, IQ is just lower where there is a lot of immigration, and then the south, because the south has been behind the rest of the country... pretty much forever.

Thanx for finding this I searched myself and found nothing. Still this site does not look like a very reliable source.

It's a site that's quoting an actual study.  Just the first place with the map i'd seen that could be posted for easy presentation.
