The WWE continues to thrive as the number one professional wrestling company in the world. Fans of the brand will be delighted to hear that a study has found that those who watch it are the most intelligent sports fans in the US.
A remote IQ test was given to 1,006 fans of US sports, many of which are popular all over the world, including NBA, MLB, and NFL. It was WWE that topped the charts as the average IQ of those who watched the brand was 112.60.
In order to qualify for this study, those eligible had to support at least one sport or team across baseball, basketball, football, hockey, motor racing, and wrestling. The demographic identifiers then helped to produce some interesting results.
In the study, put together by the How To Bet – Online Betting Guide and betting odds experts, WWE fans topped the verbal intelligence and logic reasoning sections of the IQ test. They also finished second behind the NHL in mathematical ability and visual reasoning.
When the study broke down the least intelligent sports fans by team, it is the Los Angeles Dodgers from the MLB who have the unwanted top spot. Their fans have an average IQ of 99.2. The 2020 World Series winners sit just above the New York Yankees, whose fans average at 97.6, while Team Penske supporters in NASCAR have an IQ of 96.4
Those sports and teams which have scored well in the study will no doubt be using the data for bragging rights with rival fans. On the flip side, those who haven’t scored well, will be choosing to concentrate on other metrics such as sporting success from their team
