Even if we leave aside every problem with IQ measurements to begin with, what does a state average tell us?
-
Every single state is in the 90-109 range, so it tells us that every state has an Average IQ. If we believe the data.
Which doesn't really tell us anything, since that is how averages work.

Next, you're going to tell me that if we plot IQ score changes over time, they won't rise over 100 on average! /s

Could make inferences about a states laws or educational funding.

Maybe, but Idaho has a IQ level >100 and I have no mental stereotypes about that state besides their recent book bannings.

(Perhaps that might be a good indicator on the quality of IQ testing 😉)
