	The source is a hoax. http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/stateiq.asp As such, I'm going to rank this lowly, I'm afraid. But it's no slight to the author.

	rlnintendo:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 22:38 GMT	1 point
	egaffney- my source has the same information as your link, why is it fake? really, a 1 is your ranking ugh

	Yeeeeehaaaaw!!!! We don't need no stinkin' larnin'!

	MaxCanning:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 23:07 GMT	-1 points
	Yes, this list is wrong, but it isn't THAT far off the mark. By the way, Alabama is ranked too high.

	rlnintendo:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 23:12 GMT	-1 points
	whats wrong with it?

	rlnintendo:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 23:12 GMT	-1 points

	PBRbateman7:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 13:29 GMT	0 points
	It's obvious that you didn't even read your source. How can you ask what is wrong with it when it blatantly says on the page that the information is outdated and false?

	EGaffney:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	-1 points
	rlnintendo: yes, my source has the same table as this one. It is an "illustration". You should have read the page to which I linked you; Snopes is a well-known hoax collection website and it outlines why this quiz is a lie. In addition, your source says the same thing. It was a hoax started by disaffected supporters of the US Democratic Party in 2002. I will happily re-rate your quiz once you stop using a fake list, and get a new ranking from a credible source. I am actively watching this page so that I don't punish you if you make this into an accurate quiz.

	rlnintendo:	Nov 14th, 2009 at 00:49 GMT	1 point
	I know this source doesn't seem much better, but the information is completely different. can you guys please tell me what you think. i really want this to be a good game. sorry to sound rude. http://zombietime.com/iq_of_2004_voters_by_state/

	EGaffney:	Nov 15th, 2009 at 01:48 GMT	3 points
	Sure, I've seen that before with academic referencing. To be honest, I don't believe in the usefulness of IQ testing anyway (it's more an American thing). But that seems to be the generally-accepted list.

	PBRbateman7:	Nov 15th, 2009 at 15:17 GMT	0 points
	If you follow a few links into that second source you posted there is a quoted letter from a reader of the Economist who said that not only did they see this table in the Economist but latter printed a retraction admitting that it is a hoax. There are a few websites that think this table is an average income listing with made up IQs. Also, it has been correlated with Bachelor's degrees held by the population of the state. I guess there was a legitimate negative correlation between holding a BA and voting for Bush. I hope this clears this mess up a little bit.

	http://www.vdare.com/Sailer/061022_iq_table.htm i finally found a real link of real iqs. also, this next link explains all of the hoax lists as well. http://www.vdare.com/Sailer/061022_iq.htm i am pretty sure this is a real list so i am gooing to change my data. Thank you PBRbateman7 and EGaffney for making this game a really good one with an accurate source!

	This quiz has come along way. It looks much better now and I appreciate you actually wanting to publish this quiz so accurately. I have increased my score for the quiz from one. Thank you.

	you don't advertise your stuff on your own quiz!

	rlnintendo:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 12:20 GMT	2 points
	why cant i? i want to advertise my stuff so it gets good plays.

	nucleolus101:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 17:19 GMT	1 point
	yeh, i actually regret responding to that on all your quizzes but i cant delete now

	nucleolus101:	Dec 1st, 2009 at 23:12 GMT	1 point
	but look on the bright side, if your quiz gets published, al these comments go away!!!

	Why is it that intelligent people (at least in terms of IQ) gravitate to cold places, or North? In Europe, the places topping IQ ranks are mostly in Scandinavia. Maybe clever people's brains overheat the closer they get to the equator! :p

	wow am i the only one who started copying and pasting "North Dakota" in at the bottom (well at #49 cause I got Mississippi on the first time) and got progressively less smug as every answer was wrong until 3? WTF 3? I saw one of these a few years ago (I think right after the Bush-Kerry debacle) and ND was around the middle of the pack. MS was still at the bottom. CT was at the top which makes sense even coming from a massachusettsianite myself. On this list a few years back, they highlighted each state with which way they voted in the election which was also fascinating, even if not surprising. A solid chunk of about 15-17 BLUEs on top before getting to the first RED (Alaska i think though it may have been blue) and then 5 more BLUEs or so, then 25 straight REDs. YEA America!
