From California to Florida: US States with the Lowest IQ Residents
Everyone wants to think they are smart, but intelligence is a spectrum. One of the easiest ways to evaluate your cognitive skills is to take an IQ test, which evaluates your mental ability based on a set of standardized questions. The average IQ test score is 100, and many psychologists use this score as a basis for comparing places and people, writes MSN.
