Okay, you've probably seen all the different breakdowns for what makes Minnesota awesome. Well, now, we've been ranked by intelligence. That's right, intelligence. There's a new study, that has combined IQ estimates, 2015 SAT and ACT scores along with Census Bureau data on the number of college graduates.

The result?

Minnesota comes in behind Massachusetts as the second smartest state in the union! We have the second highest IQ, SAT and ACT scores! We also have the second highest number of college graduates!

Here are the Top Five Smartest States:

5. Wisconsin

4.Connecticut

3.New Hampshire

2. Minnesota

1. Massachusetts

How about that? We're smarter than cheese-heads!

What is the "dumbest" state? Y'know there had to be one. If there is a smartest state, then, of course, there has to be a "dumbest". The one with the lowest IQ, ACT and SAT scores and fewest college graduates. That would be Hawaii. Sorry about that Magnum. At least you have pineapple, palm trees and sandy beaches.
