States with highest and lowest average IQs revealed in map
A new map has revealed which US states have the highest and lowest IQs among children.
The data was compiled through exams given to fourth and eighth graders, showing those living in the Northeast and Midwest are among the smartest in the nation.
Massachusetts was found to have the highest IQs with an average of 104.3, followed by New Hampshire. The only state not in New England is North Dakota, which has a reputation for having a strong education system.
But children living in two southern states, Mississippi and Louisiana, had the lowest IQs.
The map, compiled by Visual Capitalist, was based on IQ tests, standardized tests that provide a measure of someone's intelligence, which were carried out as part of the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competency and the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
IQs are classified into seven categories ranging from extremely low (69 and below) to very superior (130 and above).
The global average IQ is 100 and all scores in the US fell within average classification.
The average IQ for children in Mississippi was 94 and Louisiana came in second with 95.3.
The two states were followed by California (95.5), Hawaii (95.6) and Alabama and New Mexico, both at 95.7.
Vermont with a 103.8 average IQ and Montana (103.4) rounded out the five top states.
Additional findings from a 2022 research paper in the Journal of Intelligence, which revealed similar IQ rankings, compared IQ to other variables including crime, income, health and education.
