The Smartest State Award
In 2006, a company called Morgan Quitno developed the Smartest State Award. Compare this list to the one below it, called McDaniel's Estimated Average IQ Score (2004). There seems to be some correlation between the smart-states list and the average-IQ-score-by-state list. However, don't take these results too seriously. IQ testing has been widely criticized as being too generalized, and NOT a valid assessment of anything too important.
