From that list - I'm shocked that only 20-25% max have college degrees in any state.

California and New York (and other liberal states) are dumber than dumb for believing in transgender/nonbinary ideology.

Hold on a sec - how did Virginia - with higher scores in every metric - score lower than North Carolina?
NC at #4?
Wait a sec - #22 New Hampshire also had higher scores in all 4 metrics. In fact - a lot of states have better scores across the board than #4 North Carolina.
Oh - hold the fuck up - Mississippi is IN THE TOP 10 FOR AVERAGE SAT SCORE? Mississippi. #50 in education year after year.
Whoever created this shit should be fired.

Sorry to inform R3, but you believe in the same ideology if you ever say "I am a man"/ "I am a woman".

Is it poor assumption to assume the more established states have better educational attainment? I mean there’s exceptions of course. Just seems like educational attainment is less intense in the west and south.

Apparently there are just 1,939,033 people who live in the whole state of Idaho.

R12 0.6% percent of the country lol. To think several states have fewer people by far.

Yeah - I was wondering why a home-security company would publish this. Sounds like they wanted to get some traffic and interest to their site and then cookie people to retarget them with their products.
Weird approach. Because it make no sense otherwise. It is an inexpensive marketing tactic though.

From the first paragraph of the article:
[quote] For Americans, that belief may approach certainty. A 2018 study found that 65% of Americans believe they have above-average intelligence. One study found that 65% of Americans believe they have above-average intelligence.

Two more obvious flaws or weird things about this 'study' - they say they used post grad degrees as a factor - but it's not listed in the total rankings.
Rankings for four-year and graduate degrees were rated at double their value, while rankings for high school graduation were weighted at 1.5 times its value. SAT score rankings were weighted at half their value, and ACT score rankings carried one-quarter of their value.
Why are SAT scores given DOUBLE the ranking score of ACT? I know SAT is still more popular - but if they're taking averages, why shouldn't it matter?
I want to see the influence of the graduate degree data - which they only show in a graph - but excluded in their ranking scores.
