I find it mildly interesting that despite all of the perceived differences in intelligence, and the scary colors of the chart, every single state is between 94.2 and 104.3. IOW, there is no meaningful difference in IQ at the state level.

As usual, thank god for Mississippi.

Even in our nonsense metrics, they trail the rest of the Union.

Just a friendly reminder, the IQ system is dated and extremely ableist, scoring a anything on a IQ test means nothing on someone intelligence because smarts comes in so much incredibly different ways that no test can be accurate of how smart someone is.
