Some really interesting state rankings

I've used the print version links so you don't have to scroll:

Seems needlessly inflammatory. Click bait IMHO.

You should carefully consider this comment as valid since I am from one of the smarter states. j/k.

I clicked the top one and it almost started printing out, and voices came out of my computer.

No thanks.

That's my #1 annoying Internet "feature." Pass.

Sorry guys. I linked to the print version to save people from having to click through 10 webpages. It won't print unless you click "Print", so just click "Cancel" instead.

As to the voices, I didn't get anything. I guess my adblocker and other precautions stop those kind of things.

Interesting, TN is the 10th dumbest, yet has an average SAT score of over 1700 according to this click bait.

It's a meaningless list. The difference in average IQ between the smartest and 10th dumbest is less than 3 points. It seems to measure how many have college degrees. Meaningless. Find out the nature of the degrees and you may have something to discuss.

I like the "Drunk State" clickbait. Yes, worthless lists are worthless. I did appreciate WA is the 4th least socialist state, it confirms squarely the limited and myopic "criteria" used. Not really worth discussing unless we can say they are great examples of funky thinking leading to trashy decisions/conclusions.

Oh and all my script and ad blockers are working. Nothing nasty came up, but it was NOT a printable list, but rather a tedious click and click and click for what? Serious time waster. Ugh.

I love it when this kind of stuff is posted.

Sorry, it is rank trolling. But I remember the exact exchange where it was referenced by another member that it was revealing where comments came from geographically. I'm sure that is why this was posted.

The simple fact is the list is useless. Smart folks live all over, many do not have any degrees, some very high IQ people did not attend college, etc.

Who cares what others think, and what does anyone here really know about anyone else anyway?
