We all know our state is the smartest, regardless of what state we're in. In some cases, it's a state of denial. A study based on test scores such as ACT and SAT, plus graduation rates, was done to figure out which state in fact has the smartest people.
The conclusion was obvious. We all think we're smarter than everyone else.
The true result of the research tells us that New Jersey ranked #1 out of the 50 states plus D.C.
Floridians, rejoice: Idaho came in last. In fact, a bunch of states did worse than Florida, which came in at #28. Yes, 27 states fared better. Sadly, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia were some of the states that did better. Are we going to allow that?
