This is the smartest state in America, according to the data

Qi scores to university degrees, the data deems it the smartest state in the country.


The intelligence of a person can be displayed in many ways - after all, we have all heard of the difference betweenStreet Smarts and Book Smarts. In general, however, it is relatively common in the United States to combine information on test scores and degrees of education. TOBetter lifeWe reviewed measures on these subjects to determine the smartest state in America.

We started with 2021 data from the review of the world populationThe average IQ score in every state-For reference, the highest score possible, in theory, is 200, but a score of 140 or higher is considered an intelligence level of genius. Then we consulted with site preparation to the test socketScholar preparation andTo college For the average scores and newer acts resources of each State, which have maximum scores of 1,600 and 36, respectively. Finally, we used data from the United States Census Bureau,Via the National Science Foundation, The percentage of adults aged 25 to 44 years in each State with a bachelor's degree. We then gave each a weighted value metric before running them in our proprietary algorithm to see how each condition marked on our intelligence index, where 100 is the smartest and 0 the least.

Of course it is important to recognize the sad truth that countless communities across the United States have just not the same opportunities and access to quality education as others do. This classification is strictly based on the metrics discussed above and does not countDisparity socioeconomic. Keeping this in mind, read it to find out the smartest state in America and to see where your ranks compared to the comparison. And to learn more about where you need to keep your wits about you,It is the most dangerous city of America.
