Funny any source? Not that I don't believe it...


I don't get how the IQ system exactly works, but I thought having an IQ of 100 basically means a person has the knowledge typical to their age. (basically like "you're normal")... if this is the way it works, any state with an average IQ less than 100... does... doesn't that mean something's wrong?

Okay, looked it all up, and the IQ results are from IQ And The Wealth Of Nations by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen.

IQ tests measure problem-solving skills don't they?


for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.

I saw those lists of IQ's per state before, immediately following the election, but nobody has provided a reputable source yet for identifying the average IQ of the civilian voters for each state. It should be noted that the average for the population is not as significant as the avverage for the VOTING population. If we could get those numbers, we'd have a much more compelling argument. Sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm not a fan of disinformation in any form, even if it supports my own views.


Smile; It confuses people.

There would never be an average IQ of the voting population taken though. Pretty much near impossible. Unless they wanted to give the IQ test along with the ballot. But who'd sit there for a few hours after voting?

USA1, show me one quantum physicists who can't wipe his or her own ass.... Wait...... Quadriplegics don't count....
