thats a bit too categorical for me... how did they verify that? is the info up to date?? etc..

I'm sceptical

you have to remember that some of the IQ averages are kinda outdated, probably about 3 to 5 years. still, there wouldn't be much of a significant change in the averages.

this is very interesting. then again, we have to remember that here in the united states, the north goes aye, and the south goes derrr, when it comes to education .. and that's the cold hard fact.

you also have to remember it was close in some states, like 51 to 49 style, it's not like 100 percent of population of particular state voted kerry or bush

I'm pretty disturbed by the average IQ scores.... our average in the UK is in the 110s.. and average below 90 is horrendous.

maybe you should look into running our school system.. any system where they have high school seniors take algebra II, read harry potter books as an educational tool, and soft learning material will not help the students prosper in life..

I call shenanigans, the disparity is simply too wide considering that an IQ of 110 is in the 75th percentile, while an IQ of 85 is in the 16th.

isnt it fun knowing your far more intelligent than like 80% of the US population

it's probably certain that probably 40% of africa is more intelligent than the US population, and they have a lesser education than the US. but it's old news how the US mental intelligence has deteriorated exponentially every year.

except these IQ's are based on SAT/ACT scores. And if you use those, then you also have to remember that some states make it manditory for students to take them, so the scores will be lower. Some states dont make it manditory, so the extremely low scores wont be as frequent.

Ironically, by saying you believe this, you've said more about your IQ than anything else. If you can't see this as abvious hoax, there's just no hope for you.

Notice how that image doesn't have a source, or indicate raw data? That's a good way to tell it's probably something some moron made up in photoshop.
