Ranking was based on four criteria:

1. Bachelor’s degrees per capita for the over-25 population: this measured the relative education of permanent residents.

2. Graduate degrees per capita for the over-25 population: similar to above, but more stratified.

3. Median SAT score for the town’s student population.

4. Voter turnout in the 2008 election: political engagement, whether left or right, has repeatedly correlated with higher intelligence; the one criteria that measures behavior, rather than achievement.

Each was ranked equally. More points go to the best while smaller points for the worst and then they were tallied.
