I would say around 4 or 5. America is dumb but only in the needs of very desperate situations like education and politics and not to mention the economic system.
To see how dumb america is, watch John Stossals stupid in america. It says that most eduction systems and schools are helping our kids by cheating on tests and the education system

I haven't actually checked demographics on this subject in years, but in the past ... all written material to the general public was written on a 5th grade level. So the intelligenc level was thought to be around 10 to 12 years old. And from some of the questions I've seen on this service I think we may have declined some.
Maybe someone from the new media will respond.

Not too sure of this one, but, I could only assume that you are referring to the US as a nation and therefore I cant really generalize nor can I come up with an approximate figure. I don't know what is classified as dumb exactly but, the US, as a country, is one of (if not the main) world leading countries in the world today.

1, on a general scale. I would not include 1 in politics. I would give us a 10. Anybody who thinks differently about giving us a 1. It is not our fault your currency is bad. Hey no hard feelings. I have been to Europe , Asia, Mid East. No comparison. I love home.

Well, there are people of all ranges of intelligence IN America. As for America itself, I'd say it's a 0. I tried getting the ground there to take an IQ test, but it just sat there silently.

I'd like to think we're an 8, but I'm guessing we're about 6? The good news is that Americans have a tendency to be compassionate towards others and our goods outweigh the bads. :)

Someone my brother dated told me that she believes that a person as an individual is intelligent but for every one person you place in their presence, deduct 10 points from their IQ. So that means America as a whole is -789,357,159,156,047. Go us.....

Many Americans do not use common sense especially while driving so my answer is 1.
