Have you taken your IQ test (state averages)

[SportsMedVIP]

Interesting chart.

[EastCoaster]

Its a known fact that the more educated a person is, they typically tend to be liberal.

[SportsMedVIP]

The New England area f*ckin' rocks the house huh?

[EastCoaster]

What I also find interesting... is those states are also the most industralized. The states with the most business and economy voted for Kerry.


I guess its pointless to even really talk about it because there is nothing we can do now. I just think its sad we have so many misled, confused, and uneducated people out there.

i for some reason think otherwise!

[Phillyboy1]

i for some reason think otherwise!

you can think all ya want, the proofs in the puddin, that chart is fact. liberal people are more opened minded, which ususally comes with being a better thinker, this has nothing to do with education, it really comes down to common sense and being able to reason. schooling cant teach that

No. I read the wrong link in response to one of your posts. I didn't post the wrong link. You did You proved me right. The data values in the link you possted contradict what you originally posted.

oh come on now....

My main question is how come theres two of these exact same threads?

why cause you dont agree with either of them?

[SportsMedVIP]

This thread is the same, just minus some back peddling by UrbL.

[Phillyboy1]

[UrbanLegend]

All they did was switch Gore's name with Kerry's. See for yourself. Its the same numbers.

Intelligent minds think alike.

[50%Natural]

How was he back peddling...ya'll obviously were misinterpreting what information you were reading...

[ticboy]

wrong link or not at the end of the day it is still funny,

It is amazing to me that in Australia where i am from on the day of the election they had continuous coveradge on aust tv channels. I mean it isn't even our country and we didn't vote but it was considered that important that they changed all the programmes around to suit the elction coverage.

Another thing though the college systym is f***ing confusing.

It is. They did a better job with Iraq's voting.
It's said that only 10% of the population is intellegent. But you get the rest of the morons out voting and whamo! Idiot is elected.
Don't blame me. I voted for Gore before, and Kerry this time around. Me city also voted heavily straight democrat. We in El Paso are very blue collar and didn't vote as most of the rest of the state of Texas voted.

[carbs-rule]

I think this thing is straight up b.s. First, how can they possibly get accurate state-wide means for IQ? The methodological problems are ridiculous. You can't really do a simple random sample for IQ when very few of the population would have even taken an IQ test. Did they just call people and ask what their IQ was? Second, the chart itself does not reccomend taking it as fact. I would bet that the IQ of Kerry and Bush supporters was probably not significantly different, and this test does not even examine the IQ of the voters. It looks only at the state as a whole and draws inferences about individual IQ's, falling to the ecological fallacy. I'm more surprised that they would have a mean IQ score as high as 113 in any state. This would probably not make it through any peer-edited journals.

its using high school IQ tests, that pretty much answers all of your questions and they say to take it not as fact because there can be alot of arguement as to whether any IQ test is accurate. thats pretty much it, even both links say a IQ test can be unaccurate.

[carbs-rule]

The SAT and ACT are not IQ tests. The Stanford-Binnet IQ test is the real deal, testing almost exclusively logic. The ACT and SAT are college prereq exams, designed to predict how well a student does in college. Essay writing, such as in the ACT or verbal components do not indicate IQ. IF you look at the link the other person provided, it does say it is b.s. There is no way any state would have that high of an IQ average.

It's kind of funny how this is based off of high school IQ test, when no one in high school can vote... So I guess that that data would indeed be BS. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I received the best part of my education after HS

um it gives you a dammn good correlation between the two. hahaha i think its a great post. spoken by a repbulican

[DADDYDBOL]

why don't you look at forbes 500.....mainly republican....hmmm

what did your college prof. pull down last year? yeah thats what i thought......

[decadbal]

i did fairly well for a georgian

[hung-solo]

coming from a republican, the main reason why large company owners are repbulicans are b/c of the tax benefits associated with the trickle down economy that the republicans are based on

[big swoll]

i dont believe that chart....there is no way that those are the average IQs....they are way too low.....i have a hard time believing that an average iq for an entire state is below 100.....i would like to see another chart like this

[CarvedFromStone]

This argument went on all night last night guys....
This chart is a big hoax..

[markas214]

Interesting chart.

The whole state of Mississippi is just 10 points above retarded. Notice the top red states were the ones where Kerry came the closest. Poor white trash from the south are like zombies easily led by fools such as Jerry Falllwell, et al.

Sorry to disappoint, but if you check the demographics....the "poor white trash" do not make up the majority down here. These sterotypical responses are not only degrading, but they are completely uncalled for.
As for the chart...I could care less what it says and whether or not it is accurate. I just don't like the way many of you make generalizations about people you don't know, from places you have never been. Being disappointed, is not a valid reason for demonstrating such fervid ethnocentricity....in fact, there is nothing that can validate such a position.
Take it easy guys...stop name calling ...it certainly doesn't help your position, or make you look any smarter.

[skiing]

ITS BS AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS. YOU SPEAK OF LIBERALS BEING SMARTER ALSO BS. YOU WHO BELIEVE LIBERALS ARE SMARTER SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THIS SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THE SYNAPSES FIRING RIGHT. HOW ONE SIDED CAN YOU BE. I love the USA so much we have the freedom to say and feel what we want. This discussion is what makes this country great. The discussion is being help in a public forum and we dont have to worry about consequences. We also have great skiing and mountains. I also agree with the swellin on the generalzations wouldnt someone with an open mind not be so prone to make snap judgements. Opinions are like assholes we all have one some are prettier than otheres. my 2 cents in the scheme of things is really .0000000000000002 percent but better than .000000000000000 Laters everyone and ski a great winter
