Stated ethnicity doesn't necessarily mean anything. Hence comparing the states is useless. RI likely has a higher fraction of lower IQ immigrants (e.g., Southern Italians, Portuguese) because its smaller Yankee population was more easily overwhelmed by the newcomers. 2. MA's higher average IQ is in good part due to "brain gain", as the schools and tech industries have acted as a draw for the best and brightest. |
