Ever been at work or out and about and thought to yourself....Self, why is it that I seem to be surrounded by stupid idiots? Well there may be a very good reason for that, maybe Idaho is full of a bunch of dummies.

According to Zippa, even though Idaho has been ranking really high in a lot of categories over the past 10 years, smarts ain’t one of them. Idaho ranks a disappointing 36th out of the 50 some odd states. (There are 50 right?).  Massachusetts is ranked #1, smartest state.

If you’re wondering how states were ranked, they basically factored in things like high school graduates vs dropouts, and the amount of college education relative to the state’s population.

It could be worse, we could be Nevada, which ranked an embarrassing 48th.

In case you’re curious as to the dumbest state in the union, that belongs to Mississippi who is ranked the absolute dumbest state in the US.
