Also, looking at a range of 10 IQ points is totally meaningless. It's a gross distortion of the data. Hey let's look down our noses at Mississippi! Their average IQ is about 5-6 points lower than the majority of the country! How stupid they are! But wait! Those dumb yokels in North Dakota have an average IQ of 103 compared to those idiots in California with their 95 average...
Considering how flawed IQ tests are to begin with, this is a pretty meaningless difference between states. Also, smaller states (population) will always skew a little higher in IQ compared to very large states. More data points means more regression to the mean.
