Short answer: no–everyone is stupid.
Long answer by Cecil Adams. I’m glad Cecil was skeptical enough to doubt the study that claimed Mississippi’s average IQ was 63 but I’m not convinced of his results either. If 100 is the average IQ, how can everyone be below it (it seems that way with the people I meet but the math doesn’t work out)? Unless 100 is the median or people outside of the U.S. are statistically smarter (despite the finding that Europeans are just as dumb as Americans), I’m not putting too much faith in it.
Although considering the front-running Republicans, maybe they are dumber. I thought they had the 2012 election in the bag if they could find a candidate who could tie his shoes but that must have been harder than anticipated.
