I have spent years in several different states. No matter which state you live in there is no shortage of stupidity.
New England has the smartest people in the country
@@Visigoth1952-ld3zo My daughter's baby-daddy and family are from Boston. No sign of intelligence there.
It's a right hahaha
Definitely plenty of massholés there 😅😂🤣
@@kevfinn5425 where you live
"When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It's the same when you are stupid."
Oh no lol
And we can't forget that you're not allowed to tell a stupid person they are stupid, but the stupid people are allowed to call intelligent people, "stupid." It is amazing how stupid people will argue about things they know nothing about, as though they are experts, never listen to the people who actually do know and refuse to learn anything! It's the Schultz syndrome; "I know nothing!"
Very well put..
😂😂😂
Well speaking as a former dead person you're correct about not knowing you're dead. Doctors brought me back and I had emergency open heart surgery and unconscious for two months. I was told I died twice. I honestly didn't believe my relatives until the doctors said I had died.
I heard a bunch of Texans moved to Oklahoma and it raised the IQ of both states😂😂
The video was entertaining, the comments are gold 😅
😮😊😂😂😂😂❤
APPLAUSE
Oh, damn.
Did either one get out of negative numbers?
There was a prisoner serving a 90 day sentence. He escaped on the 89th day. He was captured and sentenced to 18 additional months. True story!😮
I've heard of prisons where they aren't processing people out for weeks or more past their release date.
He didn't have any time to waste!
😂😂😂
He wanted to hit the ground running 🏃 hehe

A woman in a small Texas city called in to ask them why they had scheduled the total eclipse for a Monday instead of a Saturday. Not kidding.
Maybe she thought it was a: “Total Eclipse of the Heart😂”
And she probably proudly voting for Trump in November.
I think I lived there once.
why did they?
Valedictorian of her HS class, Univ. Of Texas degree, present mayor of that town?
My father was a sheet metal worker and his IQ was around 130. He read a lot and was largely self-educated.
You can't be dumb and do sheet metal. Too much accuracy and design, not to mention cutting and assembly skills. I personally think people who make articles like this do it because they don't have to have a thinking IQ, only the ability to come up with insults.
When he said SC had an average IQ, I laughed. Statistically it means 50% of the country is smarter and 50% are lower. So, statistically that would put them pretty much in the middle.
Landscaping business owner with the IQ of 153. My wife has an IQ of 127 and she's a nurse. She grew up in Alabama but her mother moved up here just outside Chicago in NW Indiana. The only stupid thing we did was stay in my family's hometown in Indiana. We had to homeschool our kids because the school system here is awful. Luckily my mother in law is a retired teacher
Occupation and intelligence are not always correlate. I'm sure IQs of most of our Presidents were/are lower than average.
@@hellhound1389 hound, homeschooling your kids was the best gift that you could have given them.

The guy in Nevada that figures out how to get a job as a dock worker in Nevada is a genius.
LoL!!! 😂🤣😅

Nevada has some very large lakes, such as Lake Mead, Lake Tahoe etc. with lots of boating activities. The joke's on you.
@@gabrielgaidos7015 you cant stand the fact that someone else was more clever than you can ever he. the joke *IS* you.
This is horrid
Well laugh as we might, the good news is, no state in the US has an average below 90. I was bracing myself for some of the worst states being around the 70’s. I’m relieved to be disappointed.
They didn't test everyone, though!
That is why this video is bullshit. Every person is right in the middle of normal in the 90s?
statistically that’s almost impossible with such large sample sizes
Yeah average IQ should be about the same everywhere. What we need is a metric that measures the spread on the stupid side. Distributions aren't always symmetrical.
@@SuperLeica1 and dosent that test test the IQ in certan paramaters? so what if someones super smart with A B and V and C but the test only test X Y and Z and hes super dumb with those things?
Nobody is more offended to being called stupid more than stupid people.
💯% god's own truth! I had to stay in PA for some time. They will kill over being referred to as stupid!
@@sunshineandwarmth Right because apparently if someone lives in a certain state it makes them less smart than people in another state... Damn people really are ignorant and small minded.
Offended *at
😂
That is the dumbest thing ever said. If they’re dumb they won’t get being called dumb. You’re a moron…
on behalf, of all stupid people everywhere, I resemble that remark; I mean resent! LOL
Thank God there are people to do the jobs you mentioned. They provide essential services and deserved to be thanked for what they do.
Very true. There are MANY intelligent laborers and MANY stupid people in management.
And some of these people are likely smarter than you are. A good hvac guy can gather 150 or more a year..in texas.
You mentioning god says it all. Essential huh? What's the pay again?
Reminds me of the attitude many people had toward the folks in the mail room at one company where I worked. Let the mail stop getting to them efficiently, however... Back in 2020-2021, we learned just how "essential" many of those workers are. Not that it increased their pay any. All that said, there are some very intelligent people working in what many would consider "menial" jobs and their reasons for doing so are varied
Some people do in fact enjoy working with their hands and doing manual labor. Many of those same jobs pay better than those requiring degrees. My sister was pissed to find out how much I make as an auto work compared to hers with a Masters in Psychology, especially with how much she owes to WMU. The slight here is weak at best and plain ignorant at most. The pay including benefits of union job exceed many of those in nonunion jobs sectors. I have a pension, I doubt this RUclipsr does….
Beam me up Scotty ,i'm surrounded by idiots.
Popular bumper sticker in the 80's.
'I'm with stupid' shirt with the arrow pointing ⬆ also comes to mind.
Actually it’s “Beam me up Scotty. There is no sign of intelligent life down here.” 😂

Born and raised in the midwest. Company I worked for was expanding and I had to contact citizens by phone in Mississippi. After the "Hello" I stated my name and Company I had worked for the reply was "WHO IS YOU?" I knew it was going to be a long week.

That’s ok I was traveling with my husband and we stopped at a Stucky’s for ice cream. I wanted a chocolate malt with chocolate ice cream. Shocked the server asked me U want chocolate ice cream in your chocolate malt? She had to make it 3 times to get it right.

Florida has a lot of northerners. They come down fairly intelligent but the sun bakes their brains.
I was told by my kindergarten I had scored the highest IQ for all the kids in the state of Utah.
Turns out I am just good at taking multiple choice tests.
Kindergartners can't read.
@@timdunn2257 that's true if they go to public schools
Those tests are hilarious. I took one and simply made designs on the scranton. It came back at 168
@@timdunn2257That's not true!! My twin sister and I learned to read in "Head Start," before we went into kindergarten. Most kindergartens can't read, but it doesn't mean that they all can't...🤔
Who gives multiple choice tests to kindergartners?! NO ONE, that's who!
I'm from Kentucky and kept getting more and more nervous the longer the list went on, when you got to the last one I was like "whew!"
We've got a ton of colleges for a reason. It's not because there are a bunch of people from out of state who have always dreamed of going to college in, say, Berea. There are plenty of locals keeping those schools open. No surprise about California, though.
Didn't Briggs say that he's soon going to post an extended video with a bonus state?
@@TheCharleseye "No surprise about California, though." just shows how unreliable the data is.
You too, I was holding my breath
@@shells500tutubo Anyone who has ever sat on a boardwalk, listening to the vapid conversations being had by those walking by, knows that California has more than its fair share of nimrods.

Hilarious. You made my day with Real Estate Agent as a chosen occupation for dummies.
I was waiting for insurance broker---or ANY kind of broker for that matter.
Because there is a very low barrier to entry, and most real estate agents do very few transactions per year. In reality, real estate agents are all over the IQ map, and the high performing ones probably have fairly high IQs.
@@christian9387 The same is true of most occupations.

When the shoe fits
A repub California state representative announced that there was a problem with their education system because half of the students were below the median.
A bigger problem is with California politicians who see a problem with half the students below the median. (This reminded me of Garrison Keillor's line in "Prairie Home Companion" that "All the students were above average")
I guess the idea is that also the students "below" need public representation from (R)?

Hey Briggs,
You’re always interesting and entertaining.Thanks for the great videos and information.
Splinter skills are possible.
This past year I discovered IQ isn’t linear. Some of these guys were the funniest, had the fastest wit, and much better than me at “seeing and doing”. Though I was always first to finish written tests with math/trigonometry, definitions, etc., I felt like the dumbest person there for everything else.
Absolutely there's different measures of intelligence. Being book smart isnt everything if you have no common sense. It's good to learn about a wide variety of subjects. And pay attention to everyday life, it can teach you a lot.
Its called situational awareness and critical thinking. The latter is rarely taught in schools nowdays
1:35 repeating a task is much different than figuring it out without instructions
@@scream2207 ...Not only is it rarely taught, critical thinking was removed from the curriculum deliberately. In the U.S. (and most countries) we have what's called a "Prussian" based education system. The Prussian based education system removes the Trivium (aka Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric). The Trivium is also known as the Liberal Arts, not because it creates left-wing liberals, but because it's considered fundamental for a person to be free.
The purpose of the Prussian based education system was to condition youth to be worker-bees in the industrial revolution. It allows them to gain skills, but keeps them conditioned to be compliant to authority figures (aka bosses). The opposite way of teaching is called the Socratic method, which asks challenging questions to get a person to think critically about a topic, and dig deep into underlying truths.
In comparison, the Prussian method can be considered "Giving a man a fish", where he then becomes dependent upon the fish giver, vs. the Socratic Method of "Teaching a man to fish", where he can self-sustain and be free.
In my opinion, the Prussian based education system is the single greatest detriment to mankind. It is the shackles holding humanity back from greatness, peace, and global freedom. It is the system that allows "elites" control over the masses. ...and most people, including teachers, aren't even aware of it.
Don't take my word for it. Research it... and then spread the word. If we can create just one generation of critical thinkers, the world will change in such wonderful and incredible ways. ☮
I don’t even know what that means. Where did you get an idea like that?
Love that welder was the last career mentioned 😂
Them hands make a good wage if they’re on the right jobs 😎
Yep
Especially underwater welders.
And it's not just a skill, but an art and bit science, chemistry and metallurgy to be good at one's craft that is. Anyone who mocks skilled trades couldn't do whst we do if they tried all their lives
Friend in h.s. was a welder. After gulf storm, made scads of money helping close up the burning wells. He barely graduated our class.
@@GeeEm1313Dumbest guy I knew was an underwater welder. Much better at applying himself to the job, no distracting thoughts. Total respect for his ability to weld, and having the artistic talent to use welding to create interesting yard art.
A lot of these jobs are changing rapidly to involve much more technical skill, especially in math, computing, systems analysis and problem solving. IQ is almost meaningless, we know there are different kinds of intelligence, including emotional intelligence which can mean a lot in customer service. But yes I live in the California desert. My emotional intelligence is extremely low, and I teach electonics and programming and building supercomputers. I have neighbors who barely know 500 words but can fix anything in any house or even build nice agricultural infrastructure - a chicken coop or even a livable shed out of junk they collect. What is intelligence?
Sorry, but that Biden boulder was genius.
Entertaining video! I hope you travel under a pseudonym when you visit those states.😂
Gonna use his other name: Stratton.
Classic Briggs finally back to busting on states and towns. Awesome. 👍😂
I’m just curious. How do you go about getting the I.Q. or smarts averages of states?
Paused at the beginning, I'm from Alabama and think Huntsville takes us off this List! COOL CHANNEL! Alright Number 4 but Vodka is better than Listerine!
😂😂😂
Actually, Huntsville is what kept Alabama from being number one.
Oh yeah because that is where Marshall is located.
I've heard that many people in Huntsville are rocket scientists... literally! Good jobs there for qualified candidates.
It wasn't people from Huntsville, who bring the IQ up, but the rocket scientists from everywhere else.
Excellent as usual!
My problem with IQ and the suggested employment is that I know many people who graduated from a university with a BA or better who have resorted to a TRADE job (plumber, welder, etc) because the money is better and they enjoy it! I'm not correcting just stating why I don't give a whole lot of credit to the IQ scale.... that and my mother absolutely drove me nuts over how high her IQ was versus everyone else!
Absolutely true. This is ficitional but I remember the book, "The Razor's Age," by Somerset Maugham. It was made into a movie and then re-made in the 80s with Bill Murray. It's about a guy whose life is changed by his horrific experiences in the horrific WWI as an ambulance driver going out onto the battlefield, picking up "injured" (maimed, gassed, half-dead, etc.). He was a privileged, smart guy, but afterward he rejected his normal life path toward an upper-middle or lower-upper class lifestyle, moved to Paris and took menial jobs to devote his time to investigating the meaning of life and how to live it well. He even spent time with monks in Nepal for a spell. He worked as a miner for a while, too, and met another miner who introduced him to "Upanishads." I guarantee you there are bright people working all those jobs (I've met some of them), for many different reasons. Sometimes it's lifestyle (work/life balance; being outdoors; physical exercise; being on the ocean; etc.), sometimes it's the economy (what jobs are available in the place you live, and reasons, like family, for not moving to a better job, etc.), and other things. Nuance.
Fantastic list! By any chance, are you the Brian Briggs from BB Spot?
This is great! I needed a smile today.😅
This correlates almost entirely with the list of the poorest states with a few exceptions. Poor people don’t have access to decent education in the U.S.
Not only do the poorest areas lack access to a decent education, but they also often lack access to quality nutrition, which has a measurable effect on neurological development in babies and kids. So if a bunch of kids grow up without adequate nutrition for good brain development and education, those kids will likely end up with lower IQs than they would have had if they had access to better nutrition & education.
This is really not an education test. IQ is not = to education... or even access to it.
@@bukboefidun9096 If you don’t think IQ is heavily influenced by your access to education and socioeconomic status, then what on Earth does influence IQ other than genetic factors??
@@dirtydinner6463 ever listened to Shiela Jackson-Lee? No? I thought not. Nevermind.
Kentucky is one of the poorest states. California is by far the wealthiest. California is number six and Kentucky isn't even on the list. Even poor people can get an education, if their state puts focus on it. It turns out that dusty, old textbooks work better than iPads, and blackboards work better than projector screens... when you actually teach the students, instead of letting them do whatever they want.
My blond neighbor took an online IQ test...
she says........"404" sounds pretty fucking high!
"At least a vacuum is better than nothing".
Love this!
You are a funny guy. Keep on keeping on 😂
Texas, and California, caught me off guard.
If you live on one of the islands in Texas (the big cities and their burbs) you live in a modern, educated state. Get into the boonies and you might as well be in rural Alabama, New Mexico or Arkansas.
Yeah, my wife's family is from Texas and they have degrees in EE and CS from A&M, Penn State and Johns Hopkins. I'm from California and was tested in high school and my IQ was tested at 146 in my Sophomore year. All anecdotal data on my part.
Me too!😊
The thing is Texas and California (eww I'm putting them both in the same basket) are so large and diverse in cultures and languages that any I.Q. report is going to be slanted -- probably in the wrong way. I know a lot of oil field workers and ranchers that are pretty darn smart.
Large Hispanic populations.
Interesting video for sure! I think the recommended jobs list is wildly inaccurate! I don't remember the site you mentioned for that info, but trade jobs around here are making double anything a college graduate is making.
Worth remembering President Eisenhower was disappointed when told that almost half of Americans were of below average intelligence.
Surely you jest?
Ike family friend & Dad had own parking space @White House! We were there when I was 3, soon to turn 4. Ike had collection of Pentagon know-it-alls there, with other half of Complex, Aircraft Corps. They were feedin' him BS, so Ike took their sht & dumped it in tall waste basket, shouting Erwin get in here. Dad came runnin' in like whipped puppy, but Ike said, "No I need the shorter one & his drawings." Dad collected me, got my narrow self in there, & Ike whipped out my drawings for F4 Phantom he'd seen at breakfast, pinned 'em on the wall and said, "Beat this for Fighter/Bomber that'll skip to Supersonic & back w/flip of the wrist, & special semi-gull wings for stability in Carrier operations. That was 1953, 1st year of Ike's reign, & told experts he'd picked up design for half a Hershey Bar! That little bit of wisdom stirred their IQs up in a hurry!!

Not sure how accurate IQ testing really is. I'm in the 98th percentile and I've done so much stupid stuff, I could write a book. I once worked with a computer programmer who stood and stared at an air filter for almost five minutes thinking it was an indicator panel. Pretty sure your examples of people doing stupid things isn't really a reliable barometer.
always entertaining
New Mexico, California, Nevada, and Texas being on this list shows one of the flaws of IQ tests, in that people who aren't fluent in English are likely to have lower scores as they aren't taking the test in the language they best understand
Well Latin America’s average IQ is lower than US and Europe
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah many problems with the Wilson Binet. The test it’s a primitive way of grading people. Also people don’t hire you and ask for a IQ score it’s about experience, skills, tools, and Certs when you do many of these manual labour jobs but doesn’t mean they have a low IQ. It doesn’t account for language barriers, school exposure, trama both physical or mental, house hold and the income, how the person is feeling, how much sleep, what they are, how nervous they are, or the ability to learn and comprehend. It’s also based on reading math and core things like this that don’t really correlate to how smart somebody is it’s only how much they know through environment exposure. Lots of more info on why it’s bs. I met guys in the army infantry who had a high GT score classified as genius could do any job they wanted but the requirements were very low. Many guys were well above that mediocre and chose hard manual labour jobs. Some people are savings at one thing and can’t do math 🤣. Doesn’t make them stupid or be a reason to classify as a low IQ 😂. And btw I have a high IQ 🤣
Reality is, many of the people that you’re referring to may not be disadvantaged because they aren’t fluent in English.
I’d recommend comparing the average IQ score of the people from their country to the other countries of the world. Obviously people in other countries are going to take the test in their own native language, or primary (first) language. That’s a fair comparison.
Unfortunately the average IQ score in the U.S. has dropped in recent years. Most sources say it’s now around 97 to 98.
Yep - IQ is the measure of smartness for dumb people. Might as well use phrenology and a divining rod. Well, not really, it's not totally useless, just oversold.
Wow, Briggs, this is some daring stuff, and I haven’t watched it yet. I’m going to watch and see how you delicately handle this. Here we go.
Agreed. Most of the states that show up on these lists are the most racially diverse. Tread lightly.
😂😁😄😄

Briggs, you bag on sheet metal work, BBBUUUTTT!!! Destin of Smarter Every Day has a video talking about fabricating tools and making sheet metal parts that would BLOW YOU AWAY. There were no dummies working at the shop he visited. Really interesting video talking about part fabrication. You really need to check it out before you start bagging on sheet metal work.
I worked with an all around brilliant guy and world-class guitarist for a few years. He switched careers and is now a sheet metal worker among other things. I was also a full time pro musician for 21 years and switched careers to welding.
To be fair. I’m guessing the people who conducted the studies that Briggs is getting his information from, have never ACTUALLY worked in one of the trades. They have no real understanding of what it takes to get the job done.
My brother taught HVAC at a tech high school. The academic teachers accused the kids of lying when they told them their pay after graduation. They weren’t lying at all, but public schools don’t like the trades. They like to brag about % of kids they send to college. Odd they never report the % that drop out.
If the IQ tests are based in English, then it makes sense California and Texas would have lower scores on average. The exceptions draw down the average, but they aren't very accurate tests when you are dealing with lots of immigrants, especially from Mexico and central America. Also highly correlated with poverty, well, the same deal really.
Most of those people would score low in their own language.
New Mexico too for non-English speakers
Having gone through school all over the country, California has fantastic schools. But only a handful of Californian kids take the advance placement classes. Most take the average to less than average classes and do the same in college. They're more interested in socializing & material things. Completely different reason for being below average than Texas.
Texas schools were very, very different. Sports, especially football, were what everyone was excited about. The school district may not have a single computer lab, but they will have a multimillion dollar football stadium.
Some of the sub test's in a IQ test requires no reading or language skills. However, some of them do.
@@markt4297 Honest question: how does an IQ test require no language skill? It has be based on a response to writing or speaking, no?

For the people from Mississippi when you suggested drywall, was that installing drywall or being drywall?
I thought that too, but you beat me to the comment.
As an individual with experience residing in Alabama, I must concur and attribute a significant portion of the responsibility to the educational system.

Washington is too cold for bugs. I like it here.
You have the best voice for this, you’d be great on the radio too.

Agreed. He has a face made for radio. :-) (Just kidding Briggs)
So in other words the narrator thinks Blue collar workers are all dumb? I'd like to see what happens if He says that to his mechanic the next time his car needs worked on.Why didn't he say how many college educated people lack common sense.
That's the attitude of leftists. They seem themselves as the "intellectually enlightened elite" and the rest of us as low-bred unwashed masses.
If it were not for all of the construction trades he mentioned he would be living in a tent.😅
I agree.
Funny how California and Texas, the two states with the highest GDP made the list. I currently live in Texas, but I'm from Louisiana and I've been to all of these states except California. Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana don't surprise me. I don't know if it's coincidental or not, but all of the aforementioned states have large minority populations. Mississippi and Louisiana respectively being #1 and 2.
I found this funny since I am an educational diagnostician in Texas
The Armed forces won’t take anyone below 82
Oh lawdy! LMAO
What about Forest Gump?
And police academies won't take anyone with an IQ higher than that.
But what about Forest Gump? He did well in the Army. 😂
They move the below 82 on to the police dept.
For Nevada, I just wanted to mention that there are NO PORTS for shipping vessels there, as that they are land locked.
Why?
Have you done states with highest IQ? I'd love to see the flip side of this. Thanks for the videos
When it comes to the jobs I'm amazed dish washer was not on there for the last 5 states !! 🤣😂🤣😂
I was really shocked that Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida did not make the top ten. 😆
True . Fl suck. Stay out please. Don't come here.
Florida ranks 3rd in K-12 education
Kentucky should at least make that list and Georgia
@@jimagent1826Try to get into the University of Florida.
Yes, Florida was a surprise to me, also. With all the “Florida man” stories in the news, I instinctively said “Florida” aloud when Briggs said “And number one is…”
My father was a sheet metal worker. He was a Forman at Lockheed. He designed the TV dinner trays for Swanson
He also designed created and installed the gally kitchen in Jaque Custeaus boat the Calipso. In the 70's He made the average of 50 cents a minute. A very talented man. He was a Washingtonian.
I got my Phd out of a Cracker Jack box😂😅
I scored a 33 on my ACT and I do quite a bit of drywall. I also do most other aspects of full home renovation.
They have preached for a generation that a college degree is the only way to be successful but now there is a shortage of people who can work with their hands and we can pretty much name our price.
My friends and I who are skilled laborers and own our own businesses all clear six figures in the Huntsville, AL area, which is pretty decent money here.
I got friends who are Dissly smart, and they make swords from Damascus steel and all sorts of other things working with your hands does not mean that the brain is not involved.
People who are good craftsmen and tradesmen are inherently intelligent. There is so much improvisation and just plain figuring-crap-out that it is impossible to do well at it without being smart.
Thanks for that reply! I probably can not afford you and your awesome team!
@@rosedukes9177 I work with people and take payments if necessary.
I respect the trades but you're in AL so it is a wash.
With a majority of the population in California living in the western part of the state, how can the minority of the population be responsible for setting the average I.Q.?
Well, think about it for a second. Do you think Liberal Elitist are smart enough to look at what they have done to California and learn from it? These people think that having their minds programed by centralized money makes them smart. They are Mentally deficient to have ever allowed academia or the media to PROGRAM THEIR MINDS IN THE FIRST PLACE.🤣🤣🤣🤣
The south border brings down CA's average.
Where do most of the out of country guests live? They live in the cities.
If the Eastern population's I.Q. hovers around 80, (meth freaks, Fetal Alcoholic Effect, TBI, CTE, heavy metal exposure, nitrous heads, GHB, EXTASY,) they will drag down the average even tho there's a quarter the number in the cities.
Politics don't have much to do with I.Q.
Except in Flint, Michigan, where GOPBrains switched to more acidic river water, which dissolved a bunch of lead into municipal water supplies.
@@autiebell1357 are trolls usually as void of logic as you ? hi vladi.
Hello from the Northern Ireland Briggs.
Some guy tried to rob a place (Bank? Don't recall) thinking they weren't identifiable bc...they'd rubbed lemon juice on their face.
"But...I used the juice!"
The only thing I could come up with is they'd heard about doing invisible writing with it & somehow twisted that information.
Not even 2 seconds in and I will be EXTREMELY surprised if Alabama isn't on this list.
fr narrator poor murdered raccoon for what , drivel they're laughing at us ,...evil ELites! only the good die young for shame!!! iran 😁
Or Mississippi
Alabamians often come across to others to be slow or ignorant because of the way they speak. 😉 Bless your heart.
Yes, and Arkansas and MS as well.
Alabama,Mississippi, and Arkansas all share the same brain anyway
The driveway doesn’t go all the way to the garage 😂
The garage is for storing junk. Park on the driveway.
The Las Vegas guy picking up coins in the water fountain after gambling away all of his money, is also a movie...lol
I keep trying to find your data but it never collates. Where did you get your measurements?
Not a clue but 36-24-36 is good to go in most states.
Now I'm no brain trust but how did they come up with dock worker for the occupation in Nevada? Was it something to do with their miles of shoreline and all of the transoceanic shipping from their docks ?
It was a job suggestion for the state's IQ level, not jobs recommended for that state.
😂😂😂
@@michaelj.beglinjr.2804
Jim Pippin - "IQ Zero" 😅
Ever heard of a loading dock? Many businesses and all warehouses have them.
@@rockyroad7345 It seems like when Briggs quit the comedy circuit , everyone lost their ability to recognize humorous sarcasm
LMAO!!! YOUR topics have been BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂
I live in California and it is those rural and inland places that drag the state down. Along the coast and in the major cities, you got a lot of very smart people.
The recommended job in Nevada, dock worker. That cracked me up.
Quite a list, Briggs!
ATW!
82ABN - the good ol' days, wasn't it?

Thank you. Same to you! The Eighty Deuce is a life changing organization.
That guy in South Carolina proves being drunk makes dumb people dumber.
Where did this information come from? I'd like to know where other states fall.
10:54 - Both my uncle and his son in Illinois between Chicago and Milwaukee are missing fingers - same fingers, both from circular saw accidents, and the son is a journeyman carpenter...
New Mexico, also known as the Meth State.
You mean New Methico?
My IQ is 130.... and I have Autism..... and I can't get a job because people get offended because I don't Small Talk enough.
Also other stuff like I'm not great at reading and spelling and so on. Fun fact because I looked it up myself and I believe this is true a IQ test more or less is a common sense test mixed with engineering. If you have a good amount of Common Sense and if you're good at engineering kind of like myself your IQ would ranked pretty high. If you're a normal person where you're going to refinance your house so you can go on a vacation or use the money for a down payment for a new car yeah your IQ would likely be kind a lot... 🤷♂️
From a SC resident, we have some educational issues. The biggest one is that the individual school districts fund their own schools; the state pays salaries and benefits. That was set up during Jim Crow to ensure the wealthiest counties had the best schools.
Some of the more rural/impoverished counties really suffer because of it. That’s really apparent along the I-95 corridor where there is very little industry. That area is know as the corridor of shame. It has started to change a bit but the inequity will continue until the old law is reversed. I doubt that will happen anytime soon; how do you convince the wealthiest, most populous counties to give up their kids school taxes?
How is this determined?
I’ve never taken an IQ test so how did you obtain this info?
Nevada is so stupid it hurts.
I have never seen people do as much stupid shit as in the casinos here.
Living here is genuinely painful at times. This state has consistently fucked over education, social services, mental health services, etc. etc... for decades.
New Mexico surprised me @ #1.
I have a smart friend who lives there and she says there's a lot of dumb people there. She lives way off the beaten path, on her own, off grid. Away from those people. 😂
Aka New Methico
I would love a video including the Quad Cities someday!
Nice shots of Tucumcari, NM along Route US 66.
Thanks for the video. Very enjoyable. IQ assessment is a very controversial field; more than a few experts question the validity of this type of testing. The interesting thing about the video is the type of job matches for these supposedly lower-IQs. Jobs like HVAC technicians, plant operators and welders are very important professions. A good master welder is a valuable asset to lots of fields including manufacturing, metal fabrication and industrial repair & maintenance. A good example of this is the manufacture of nuclear submarines. The hull plates must be welded together with absolute mastery because even one small imperfection could lead to certain death for an entire crew of Navy Sailors. Anyway, it was very entertaining.
By the way, perhaps you should consider a video on another assessment measure called Emotional Quotient (EQ). This is a supposed measure of a person's emotional maturity and sensitivity. Now that would be interesting to see which states have the highest and lowest EQ measures! Thanks again! 🤔🙂
Agreed. Everything. Those are some good jobs when you factor in the salaries with how much spent on schooling. Hvac workers come out on top vs a therapist.
I agree. Be fascinating
I agree! There are different types of intelligence. I was told I have a genius level IQ but, in certain areas I am dumber than a bag of hammers. I think IQ tests are, for the most part, a bunch of nonsense.
Briggs, you could have just shared the stories for fun without forcing IQ into the equation. It’s rather crude, not every person with intellectual challenges, made that choice. Some people don’t aspire to betterment and that is a choice! For the innocents, they have to live with attitudes like yours. Critical thinking is important. How many times did you question yourself on making this video? The answer will point to your own IQ.
