Interesting...my homestate of WI scores high for overweight on one measurement, then scores quite favorably in low obesity #s on another measure. Both measures were deemed as "actual data." Whose data?

#1 for Wisconsin... stupid.

Why are we so stupid? That's a good question. But like the question "why is Texas so awesome?" I think it is one I am too stupid to answer.

My state and all the surrounding states are all "so racist" and "so stupid".

Wow...stereotypes about the south really haven't improved any at all have they, LOL!!

for a smart state we're really stupid (and drunk).

2nd Smartest State: Wisconsin

It ranked in the top 5 of our Drunkest States list, but apparently the people of Wisconsin haven’t killed off all their brain cells (yet). Students in this state scored an average of 1784 on the SAT’s, the second highest nationwide after Iowa. The state also ranked in the top ten according to Morgan Quitno’s study. The state has a high percentage of students who are proficient in math and reading, according to the National Center for Education, and the state is generous in funding its education system. The one elephant in the classroom for Wisconsin is that they are slow to close the achievement gap that African Americans face in schools.

Well, how 'bout that? We didn't get 'so domineering', after all. We got 'SO AWESOME'. Big grin
