New Study Says Only ONE State is Smarter Than Massachusetts

By Beasley Media Editorial

We’re #2! We’re #2!! Ew. I typed that before I thought about it.

A new study determined the smartest state in the country and it came up with the following 2 conclusions: 1) Massachusetts is really, really smart. (Duh.) And 2) There is only ONE state smarter. But which one could it be?

World Population Review ranked the intelligence of each state using the following factors:
IQ scores
SAT scores
ACT scores
Percentage Of College Graduates In Each State.

An intelligence score was then created for each state by determining the percentage-point difference between a state’s score and the nation’s average score.

So Mass finished toward the top of the brainy list but NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THIS ONE!! *gulp* Here come the Top 20 Smartest States in the US! And feel free to take some fun IQ tests along the way…
