[Jblaze]

[booshka]

Is it just me, or are those numners really low?

Isn't 120 supposed to be the average?

[G-Style]

Wow not only is the population not so smart it does explain why a guy that can't even talk or rationalize his own decisions is president!

[Ryan Ross]

100 is average

[bungoshlung]

i wonder what bush's iq is..

[Mr Ektion]

It sorta makes sense dude.

If you look at the map of which states voted for who, you'll see that the land-locked battle ground hick countries all voted for Bush and the bigger harbor cities with bigger schools and better educations voted kerry. I think the americans who voted for Bush liked him purely on the fact that he advertises himself as a wholesome christian; and christians like that. They want a leader who's proud to say he's religious and share the same beliefs. Smaller town people have much more basic beliefs and they'll vote for whoever they're told to trust.

lawerence i was thinking the same thing when i saw the map. jokingly i think it proves that the states has more redneck/hicks then anything thus all the redneck palces voted for bush. But back to a serious i did and didn't find it surprising that all the well educated places voted for kerry and all the so called hick palces voted bush. either way very interesting and all i gotta say is we gotta wait 4 years

A lot of the ppl down south "red necks" are quite religouse and seem to represent being very black/white thinkers. Making them think about the gay marrige issue.

IQ tests arnt 100% acurate nore do I belive give proper results or test your IQ fairly. 80-110 is the average range. Be aware there are two kinds of IQ tests, so you could be high in one and lower in the other.... then the two make the final average.
Below 75 and you start to enter "cognitivly low" lables (often ppl wtih down syndrom/FAS/PDNOS/Brain damage etc).
110 and above earns you "gifted" lables.

I find these results intresteing as it tends to be the more inteligent and responsible ppl who tend to vote as they see and understand voteing importants.
However many of them are very successful and rich such as lawyers, doctors, and buisness ppl who usualy like to vote very right wing (Bush) as it saves them much tax dollars!!!
