I’m not sure you can call any entire state smart or dumb.
The “Washington Post” just ranked all 50 states from smartest to dumbest based on four factors: Average IQ scores; their SAT scores this year; their ACT scores this year and the percentage of college grads.
The smartest state in the country is: Massachusetts. Although 77,000 guys named Sully might make you disagree.
The rest of the 10 smartest states goes: Minnesota, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Kansas, Vermont, Iowa, New Jersey and Colorado.
The dumbest state is Hawaii. Which is sort of surprising, since the people there are the only ones smart enough to realize you can live on an island paradise and still be part of America.
The rest of the 10 least intelligent states are: Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, West Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Arizona.
